An Obituary

[Eager Beaver]

> 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, 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
> 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, by his
> wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by 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.

The early bird might get the worm, but the 2nd mouse always gets the cheese

It would be , if justice hadn't died

It would be of the Repubs if people used common sense and saw what they are really about, and it isn't about the security or prosperity of this country. It is about their own greed. EB

If it is posted and left I will respond:

... the only "whiners" are the ones that can't seem to grasp the idea that this forum IS NOT for political discussion --- while the one that IS for political discussion, goes relatively unused.

What's the real reason why some of you guys still want to try and bring politics into play, on a forum where most don't really want to hear about it ?? Could it be that you're in a serious minority, and are looking (trolling) for new blood to argue with ?? .... sure appears that way.

Take a hint, fellers ... go to the OTCrappie Forum, and bash or support the political party/ideology of your choice. Raise some cane in there ... and maybe you'll make enough noise to drown out the sound of the crickets chirping.
