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 sun lotion or an aspirin 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 the 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 realise that a
steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, launched a
lawsuit and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common
Sense was preceded in death,
-by
his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by
his wife, Discretion,
-by
his daughter, Responsibility,
-and
by his son, Reason.
He
is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
-
I Know My Rights
-
I Want It Now
-
Someone Else Is To Blame
-
I'm A Victim
-
Pay me for Doing Nothing
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.
