bozodog Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 OBITUARY 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. Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. He 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 knew him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thesidekickcat Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 He may not be dead, just took to many sucker punches, and is down for the count.Hopefully he will be restored to everday life, once people realize the terrible loss to society without him.I think that the pendulum is swinging back, so it will soon be obvious that he is needed now more than ever.God bless everyone.

bar5 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 bozodog:That was excellent. I think this crept up on us before we realized what was happening.I see signs of us fighting back, at least I hope so.The things that are happening today, I just shake my head in disbelief. Our priorities are backwards. Most people do not like to fight, unless they are pushed back against the wall. That wall is getting closer.Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snaxe Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Poor Common Sense; he was a good man. I for one will miss him though he will always be in my heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macmarauder Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 to be honest i didn't really know him. but i can feel you guys sorrow. he must've been a great guy. while sometimes our backs may be up against the wall and there's no R2D2 to turn off the trash compactor for us. we must grab ahold of a large pipe and prop it against the wall. for we must save the princess. we must help the rebellion. and we must continue to flood the deathstar with spam.

Mad Mike Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I have often heard it said that God speaks to us through others. Often times when (I'm) speaking to others and he elects that I am that "other", That "other"is also speaking (volumes) to me. Let us hope then and (some) pray that in the wake of the election(s) in Iraq that we as a country take the opportunity, in the wake of a Democracy being born, to bear witness to the Truths that have made this nation a nation of distinction. Common Sense didn't die, He's been under house arrest. Shackled by the lies of the Main Stream Media. And just as the Light of truth begins to shine in Iraq so too shall Common Sense again see the light of day here in the place he once called home.America/ Iraq = Home of the Brave, land of the Free.

mikex Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I remember one time Common, we were on first name basis, was helping me with some carpentry work. I smashed my finger with the hammer. LOL That hurt. I grabbed the brad nail again, rared back to hit it with every ounce of my being. Common leaned over a said bet you get your finger again.I started holding the nail with a pair of neddle nose pliers......Boy that Common......~wipes tears away, and eases back into the crowd.~M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
