It's not often I come across a real gem of a comment anymore, but this one takes the cake.  Give it a read:

"Today, we grieve for our 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:
- Life isn't always fair;
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Waste Not, Want Not;
- And maybe it was my fault in my situation
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults and citizens, 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.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;
a Ft Hood Terrorist and illegal 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.
Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-by his son, Reason.
- by his grandmother, Sound Judgement
- and by his grandfather, Future Planning
He is survived by his 6 stepbrothers;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
-Someone Else Is To Blame
- I'm Offended
- I'm A Victim
- You owe me
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone....."

Sad knowing that it's really true how Common Sense really has died. Stupidity has as well taken his place, had a co-worker make me facepalm hard core...along with just many, many people itself. -sighs- Humanity, I just hope more masses catch this before we're beyond saving but at this rate...
