An Obituary printed in the London Times........
Interesting and sadly rather true.
'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
political correctness became the, “in thing”, and the
well-intentioned but overbearing, “Human Rights laws”
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 his wife, Discretion his daughter,
Responsibility 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.
