The Late Mr. Common Sense

An obit­u­ary..

Today we mourn the pass­ing of a beloved old friend,Common SenseAn emo­tion phrase that the pro-​criminalsA more cor­rect term for one who advo­cates gun con­trol by remov­ing or restrict­ing law-​abiding cit­i­zens from arm­ing them­selves in self-​defense. use to inform you that if you don’t believe that way, you aren’t as smart as them. After all, who doesn’t want to have com­mon sense. Often, the thing they are refer­ring to is not com­monly known or good sense. I use it to mock that notion., 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, 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 cit­i­zens were leg­is­lated into being crim­i­nals and crim­i­nals received bet­ter treat­ment than their 20 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 when a man’s home was raided for the pur­chase of legal firearms.

Common Sense was pre­ceded in death, by his par­ents, Truth and his wife, Discretion, his daugh­ter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason. His grand­par­ents, Honor and Integrity passed long ago.

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 real­ized he was gone.
