> Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has
> been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since

> remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to

> always
> fair, and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound
> financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting
> strategies (adults, not children are in charge).His health began to
> deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were
> set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
> for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash
> after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only
> worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked
> teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining
> their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required
> to get parental consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky
> plaster to a student, but could not inform the parents when a student
> became
> pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to
> live
> as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and
> criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took
> a
> beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home
> and the burglar can sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the
> will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of
> coffee "was hot" She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly
> awarded
> a huge settlement.Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth
> and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his
> son,
> Reason.
> He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to
> Blame, and I'm a Victim.
> Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you
> still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do
> nothing.
