> Obituary - Common Sense

>

> Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of 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 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.

>

> It 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 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 know him pass this on, if not join the majority and do nothing.
