    OBITUARY

    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 valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, and that life is not 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.

    Common Sense finally gave up 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.

    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 did.

    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.

    If Common sense were Common... then it wouldn't have a label like "Common" now would it?
