In Remembrance of the late great C. Sense.?

Obituary of the Late Mr. 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 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 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
> over bearing 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 Common Sense's 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 a Band-Aid 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 Ten Commandments became
> contraband; 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
>realize
> that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her
lap,
>and then was
> rewarded for her clumsiness by awarding her 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 his 3 step brothers; I Know My Rights, Someone
Else Is
>To
> Blame, and I'm A Victim.
>
> 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.

Now who wants to get high & go cliff diving?
