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 > 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 mouth wash 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 > 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 an Aspirin 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 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 > 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, his son, Reason. > > He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights; I Want It Now; > Someone Else Is To Blame; 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. > > Evil will flourish when good people just stand and do nothing. > __._,_.___Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/message/89042;_ylc=X3oDMTM1N242bTdjBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEbXNnSWQDODkwNDIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDdnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMjMzMDk3NTI2BHRwY0lkAzg5MDQy> (1) Reply (via web post) <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJwNjhhbjA3BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEbXNnSWQDODkwNDIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcnBseQRzdGltZQMxMjMzMDk3NTI2?act=reply&messageNum=89042> | Start a new topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJkOXA5cW84BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDbnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMjMzMDk3NTI2> Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJkMW9jOGp0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDbXNncwRzdGltZQMxMjMzMDk3NTI1> | Files <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNDNlZ3NyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDZmlsZXMEc3RpbWUDMTIzMzA5NzUyNQ--> | Photos <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJkYTVzbWpiBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcGhvdARzdGltZQMxMjMzMDk3NTI1> | Links <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJlM285MDY2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDbGlua3MEc3RpbWUDMTIzMzA5NzUyNQ--> | Database <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJidWtscHQzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDZGIEc3RpbWUDMTIzMzA5NzUyNQ--> | Polls <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJlMm1hbTFrBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcG9sbHMEc3RpbWUDMTIzMzA5NzUyNQ--> | Calendar <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Blind-chit-chat/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJjZGwxOGRnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxMDU1NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxODkwNTIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDY2FsBHN0aW1lAzEyMzMwOTc1MjU->
