A friend sent me this in an email, and sadly it is true.
" London Times" Obituary
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
20 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.
Common Sense 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 and 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 realized he was
gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the
majority and do nothing. _________________ My brain hurts.

Ah, Yes, I remember Common Sense with great fondness...
Sadly killed by a "Injury Lawyers 4U" parasite who mowed her down in his car whilst too busy talking on his mobile phone to pay attention to the road...
...Though fortunately for the lawyer, he made a claim against Common Sense for being anywhere near him at the time and won.
Ni!
