Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense
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 his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable 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 6 -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 that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Tylenol, sun lotion or a Band-Aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as 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 could 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 his 3 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.

HAHAHAHA
What the hell, Why not?
That topic bluntly will raise some eyebrows of concern and confession......
LOL
My Dear child have you visit my Confession Booth Lately?
May I suggest you start a new topic about the sex of angels
Participated in loosing our lovely friend "Common Sense" but ignoring or replacing with "Non Sense"
May his soul rest in peace by having everyone of us restore his values
I refused to attend its funeral, knowing there are existing thinkers and believers, carrying its legacy and best using it. They will keep passing it onto generations to come.
I am still hopeful, no quitter and certainly not in denial.
(Note: your post is a shocker! as so little people see what you can see. Justifying it all under “Democratic Modern World.!) Alas!
Wait a minute, who's to say Common Sense is Mr. he?? just to lighten things up..:)

Common sense died of hysteria according to one of the forensic reports.
Mr. Obnoxious took oner.
Common sense suffered one heart attack.
Mr. Humor was run over by Mr. Political correctness.
Is it elections? Must be early religious festivities.
Common sense was sent to the purgatory.
God gave him a very warm reception. He went to heaven. He never had to abstain or starve to death from nothing.
Know the Right movement are on place with their sour notes.
