Obituary: The Sad Passing of Common Sense

Email I received a couple of years ago, found it in my archives.
Thought it could do with an airing! Enjoy!   ;D

Obituary: The Sad Passing of 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 earn) and reliable parenting 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 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 they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.   It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Paracetamol, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. 

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Bible 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 can 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, and was promptly 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 three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone. If you still remember him pass this on. If not join the majority and do nothing.    :(

And today in our local paper a journalist from the Washington Post actually said of another person, "so, she told the truth, as if that matters" And with other words defended her statement with, "she must be sensitive to porn and vulgar descriptions of a sexual nature"
This woman received a Pulitzer prize for Commentary!!!!!

Two of the major assassins involved in the death of common sense have been identified as Medical Insurance and Credit. We began a flirtation with them, then married them, now we have divorced them and on top of paying exorbitant  alimony we cant get rid of them.
