Common Sense was seen in Belgium but we've lost contact many years ago. Strangely enough since Socialists started ruining, euhm , governing our beloved Kingdom.

Obituary
Died in America's Heart, USA
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of 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 value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge). His health began to rapidly deteriorate 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. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; however they could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was 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 two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still know him pass this on, if not join the majority and do nothing.

I fear Hippies were responsible for beginning the decline of common sense. Everything has become soooo touchy-feely since the late '60s and their call upon everyone to spread love. Hippidom had a huge influence on my generation. I was naturally drawn to it and it was a lifestyle I emulated in my own way. However, maturity has shown me the error of my ways and the sheer stupidity of youth. I'm still an idealist at the age of 53, but I really wonder how much longer I can keep it up.
I absolutely hate Political Correctness.....but I should be one of 'em, with my background.

No, don't make me use common sense on another wingnut who wouldn't know what common sense is.
Let's see. Who runs all 3 branches of the government? The conservative wingnuts. Let's look at their common sense values.
Devout conservative christians support assasinations - common sense values.
Attack Saddam and Iraq when they had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMDs - common sense values
Blame gays for god wiping out a whole lot of folks including innocent babies - common sense values
The only president to cut taxes with not just one war but 2 - common sense values
"You're doing a heck of a job Brownie" while people drown and suffer after hurricane Katrina - common sense values
~50% of the voting idiots in this country vote against their interest in voting for shrub. Now half of that group realize it doesn't feel good to take it up the shorts as their leader smirks at 'em - common sense values
Intelligent design as science, 'nuff said - common sense values
Support Bush/Cheney and their oil cabal as they rake in billions in profits (check today's news) and you dumb asses pay for it at the pumps cause ya want your chump change tax cuts - common sense values
Your conservative cabal run up massive deficits that for some reason you don't think you'll have to pay for - common sense values
Attack teachers and institutions of higher education then wonder why asians/indians with academic degrees come and take the jobs here - common sense values
Anti-choice for women but once the babies are here, cut benefits for 'em - common sense values
Just tell me when you want me to stop :-?

Liberalism run amok is destroying the republic - move to Massachusetts for proof of that. Living here is just like living in France or Soviet Russia.

Come live in the liberal utopia of Massachusetts - the ONLY state in the union losing population. Those of us paying the outrageous taxes here are leaving Massachusetts for everywhere else. The "For Sale" signs are everywhere.
Come to Massachusetts where the liberal democRat government forces the workers and businesses to pay for everything. Business is bailing out faster than the taxpayers and this state's economy is ranked at 45 out of 50!
You love liberalism; come to Massachusetts and live it every day.

Discoman,
You really need to get your ass to a RED STATE so you can live with your kind!!! Might I suggest Florida???? You can still revel in porn and drugs and vote the Republican ticket with a clear conscience down there. What's a little pesky hurricane breeze when you got God on your side???? :lol:

I could go on but i think I made the point. Like you said, even the scared to death media can't avoid having reporting what's going on. Perhaps like the CIA, they are sick of these banana republicans.

I thought you'd have been in Florida by now?
By the way, where are you getting your economic numbers from? I hope it's not Bill O'Lielly

I leave for the Sunshine State next week.
My wife and I have purchased a fabulous home north of Tampa - 3 times the floorspace of what we now own at 2/3 the cost and 1/2 the heartburn of similar in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts is 45 out of 50 states in jobs creation according to the Boston Edition of Pravda (The Boston Globe).
The "For Sale" signs are evident as you drive through the area.
My neighbor on the southern side of my property hasn't been able to sell a terrific property in a year and 2 price reductions(so much for Mass' dynamic real eatate market, average time on the market is now 8 months).
The outmigration numbers come from both state and fed census numbers for 2004. I'm gleefully anticipating the out-migration numbers for 2005.
Baby boomers in the Commiewealth of Massholechusetts are cashing out and bailing out to Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. Newly graduated teachers here CAN'T get jobs. They go to Florida and they have jobs in 3 days!!!!!!!!!!
So here's an invitation: You committed liberal types; Come to Massachusetts and live your liberal utopia. Here's your opportunity to live the european model, you so admire, in the United States! Replace those of us bailing out!!! Come to the state of one party liberal democRat rule. Put your money where your mouth is! Come to Massachusetts!!!!!!!!

Paul, baby, when was the last time you watched O'Reilly?
Or do you prefer Air America (is this still on the air?), NPR and moveon.org?
Double Platinum Record [Level 9]
It's been 15 years since I really watched O'Lielly. Back then he was just a local shmuck on Boston TV.
I heard from Media Matters that he keeps praying for Air America's death. Well all I can tell you is the network is growing with new stations coming on the air almost every week. They are up to 72 stations. I love their programming. I know they have a station in Beantown.
Yes, I am also a moveon member.
I used to like NPR when I had no radio option. I never listen to 'em now.
As for coming back to Boston, i used to live there and go to school there. I prefer the sunshine in SoCal. Besides despite the gropernater, we have a Democrat state with one of my very favorite Senators, Barbara Boxer. :D

Why's it called common sense? It ain't very common is it?!

California also has a problem with business moving out... Hmmm, do we have a similarity here?
"It's been 15 years since I really watched O'Lielly" I'm not surprised. Hey, isn't Soros, that socialist nut-case, funding moveon and air america?
Paul, how's that Kool-Aid?

The Kool-Aid is good. I saved you a glass 8)

I prefer cabernet and a good lager myself.
The invitation to move to Massachusetts remains.
Jeez, if all of the liberal wackos move to Massachusetts and the rest of New England (Vermont is more commie than Mass) we in the rest of the country could isolate you liberal Kool-Aid drinkers up here in the frozen north, cede New England to Canada or France, where you truly belong, and save the rest of country from your intelectual polution.
I'd be willing to trade New England to Canada for the Yukon Territory or Baffin Island or the Northwest Territories or some other frozen Arctic wasteland. They would be far more valuable to the U.S. than the political and economic wasteland that is New England.
