*~WHAT'S ON MY MIND~*


Got this from :iconangel-moonlightwolf:'s journal, just passin' it on...


--------------------


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;

- 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,” and “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 horse is now nothing but a sack of meat, for its bones have been ground to dust from the many clubs that have since struck it.

I don't think we're honoring "Common Sense" the right way if we're just now mourning the loss of it and it's been dead for a good long time. |D

Heh. Would there even be meat left? |D

I'd call it a late obituary, then.

Hm, sometimes it doesn't feel like he's dead, considering he still lives on in some of us.

It's so true it hurts . . .

My parents are both teachers, so I hear how things go. A kid doesn't do their homework so they get a bad grade. But it's the teacher's fault, of course, so the parent's let them have it. Ugh, why are people so stupid?

STAMPS, OMG

Not in any particular order, because I am a lazy-ass. :D
