Common Sense is dead
 
Moving on from CK's recent post, here goes:

"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 earn) and reliable parenting 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 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.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the
job they failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer; paracetamol, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to
a student, but could not inform the 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 you couldn't defend yourself from a
burglar in your own home and the burglar can 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; and his son,
Reason.

Three stepbrothers survive him; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to
Blame and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone."

Please discuss.

Rgds, Rob

NEWS FLASH !!!!!!

It has just been reported that a late entrant called Rob has put his name down to be the leader of the Conservative party. His maiden speech has so impressed everyone that 99.9% of the public have said that they will vote for him at the next general election.



However 0.01 % have stated that they intend to block this move at the European Court as it will affect their human rights to be prats by allowing a sensible view of life to prevail.


Rob was last seen banging his head against a brick wall............
