Today we mourn the passing of an old friend, by the name of Common Sense.
> Common Sense lived a long life
> but died recently in the United States. No one really knows how old he wsas,
> since his birth records were
> long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
>
> He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools, hospitals, homes,
> factories helping folks get jobs
> done - without fanfare and foolishness. He generally cultivated such
valued
> 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), reliable parenting
> strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it's okay to come
> in second. A veteran of the
> Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Technological
> Revolution, Common Sense survived
> cultural and educational trends including body piercing, whole language,
and
> "new math."
>
> His health declined when he became infected with the
> "If-it-only-helps-one-person-it's-worth-it" virus.
> In recent decades his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of
> well-intentioned but overbearing
> regulations. He watched in pain as good people became ruled by
self-seeking
> lawyers. His health rapidly
> deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero-tolerance policies.
>
> Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a
> classmate, a teen suspended
> for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for
> reprimanding an unruly student only
> worsened his condition. It declined even further when schools had to get
> parental consent to administer
> aspirin to a student, but could not inform the parent when a female
student
> was pregnant or wanted an
> abortion.
>
> Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became
> contraband, churches became
> businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal
> judges stuck their noses in
> everything from the Boy Scouts to professional sports.
>
> Finally, when people, too stupid to realize that a steaming cup of coffee
> was hot enough to cause burns,
> sued the restaurant and were awarded a huge settlement, Common Sense threw
> in the towel. As the
> end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed
> of developments regarding
> questionable regulations such as those for low flow toilets, rocking
chairs,
> and stepladders.
>
> Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his
> wife, Discretion; his daughter,
> Responsibility; and his son, Reason. Two stepbrothers survive him:
My Rights, and Ima Whiner.
> Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

I would like to add the common sense of buying a canopy/car/equipment that perhaps it’s reputations the company never thought in giving decent customer service.
