But clearly, it won’t be found in either Mortality or True. Yet it should be noted, what is commonly held to be "true" is commonly proved to be wrong. – Chive — "Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric, out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry…" – W.B Yeats

Nah, you’re just a top-posting moron. Common sense is not so common. –Voltaire Common sense is instinct. Enough of it is Genius. –George Bernard Shaw — "Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric, out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry…" – W.B Yeats

The one thing I have never been called, is *predictable". Predictably, you are wrong again. – Chive — "Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric, out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry…" – W.B Yeats

  Obituary: Common Sense   Today we mourn the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense. Common Sense lived a long life but died from heart failure at the brink of the millennium. No one really knows how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools, hospitals, homes, factories and offices, helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and foolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in out of the rain, the early bird gets the worm, and life isn’t always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it’s okay to come in second. A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Technological Revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and educational trends including feminism, body piercing, whole language and "new math." But his health declined when he became infected with the "If-it-only- helps-one-person-it’s-worth-it" virus. In recent decades his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal regulation. He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyers and enlightened auditors. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies, reports of six-year-old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, a teen suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student. It declined even further when schools had to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but cannot inform the parent when the female student is pregnant or wants an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports. As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low flow toilets, "smart" guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory air bags. Finally when told that the homeowners association restricted exterior furniture only to that which enhanced property values, he breathed his last. 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: Rights, Tolerance and Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. — ##Mortality## not dead, yet not quite living either. Note:  I did not write this, I found it in notepad on my computer.  I wish I could give credit, but I can’t other than let you know it is not mine.
