Exclamation 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 bureaucractic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable sessions 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(dont spend more then 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 6 year old boy charged for 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 the condition.

It declinedeven further when schools were required to get parents consent to ADMINISTER panadol,sun lotion or a sticky plaster-but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have a abortion.

Common sense lost the will to live as the ten commandments became contraband,churches become businisses and criminals received better treatment then their victims.Common sensetook a beating when you could not defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assult.

Common sense finally gave up the will to live after a women failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.She she spilled a little on 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,ad his son,Reason.

He is survived by three stepbrothers;i know my rights,someone else is to blame and I am the victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he has gone!

in another 20 years we will be a police state with so many rediculous laws added in an attempt to "outlaw" stupidity by spoonfeeding people absolutley everything they could possibly need to know.

No Diamonds Although most recruits are taught how to use an iron, tie shoe laces, read clocks etc all because the standard of your average youth joining up is just soooo low these days.

Although they dont teach that to officer cadets, your expected to know everything or at least pretend you do
