WE MISS HIM!

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
       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 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 Tylenol, 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 it became punishable for you to defend yourself from a burglar in your own home but the burglar could sue you for assault.

He began to lose ground rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing 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 his condition.

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 and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his Daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; 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...

First of all, "sense" is not common anymore. Common Sense has now become: Common Senseless.

I attended his funeral and got verbally attacked. We won't need him anyway, as Sharia Law does not allow it. Check for yourself.

I play in a band on weekends and am a electronic tech during the day. Some say I have a twisted sence of humor. They may be correct. I used to be a 1%er biker years ago, now Im just a creepy old man. I still have my 69 FLH and still ride but no colors.
