HONEST TRUTH
London Times Obituary..! (dpb)An Obituary printed in the London Times........
Interesting and sadly rather true.
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 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 mouthwash after lunch;
and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student,
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 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
his son, Reason
He is survived by his 4 step brothers;
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.

A nice piece. Sad to read. Common sense has become uncommon. The materialistic world has just gobbled the senses. We need not make human robots now since we are already on the road to become the one.
