Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend; Mr Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as; knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird always gets the worm, life isnt always fair and maybe it was my fault.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as; knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird always gets the worm, life isnt always fair and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple , sound financial policies (dont spend more than you 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 six year old boy charged with sexual harrassment 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.
He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or Elastoplasts to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted an abortion.
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 took a beating when you can no longer defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents; Truth & Trust, his wife; Discretion, his daughter; Responsibility and his son; Reason.
He is survived unfortunately by his 4 stepbrothers; I know my rights, I want it now, Someone else is to blame and i'm a victim.
Not many people attended his funeral because so few realized he had gone.......
