Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense. Mr.Sense had 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 value 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.

Mr. Sense 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; churches became businesses; and 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, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge financial 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 remember him, pass this on; if not, join the majority and do nothing.

So very sad, but true. I suspect it won't get better any time soon.

I suggest we start providing a Spanish & French version of our site. Otherwise, the PC police will come after us. Talking about the police, Flemmgunner, your signature has triggered a flag at the BATF. It's become unAmerican to own, talk about guns, or display the G word !  

Well, I too must be offended - I just don't know why yet.  But, I am sure there is a good class-action lawyer here in the local phone book who can assist me in deciding what offends me.

I found out last month while buying gas at 3/gal that my Corvette offended the soccer mom at the next pump driving some kind of rice powered mini-SUV.  Something about how only a unpatriotic shmuck could be so insensitive.  I didn't bother to explain that Chevrolet is "merican" vs. her Korean built piece of technology.
