A must Read
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by
the name of
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 valued lessons
as knowing when to come in out of
the rain, why the early bird gets the worm
and that life isn't always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies
(don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies
(adults, not kids, are in charge).
His health began to rapidly deteriorate 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!
It declined even further when schools were required to
get parental consent
to administer aspirin to a student but could not
inform the parents when a
student became pregnant and wanted to have an
abortion.
Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten
Commandments became
contraband, & (especially this one)....churches became
businesses. When
criminals received better treatment than their
victims. Common Sense finally
gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that
a steaming cup of
coffee was hot, spilled it in her lap, and was 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 two stepbrothers: My Rights and Ima
Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized
he was gone.
If you still know him pass this on, if not you can
give him a second
death.
