COMMON SENSE
This is my first posting. What is common sense? Whatever it is there seems to be a great scarcity of it. Have you ever seen so many public figures do and say so many things that make you wonder if they have a lick of common sense?
Just look at the blunders that Hillary has made in the last two or three weeks as her campaign for our nation's highest office shows signs of a bumpy trail for her if not down right trouble. Where's her common sense? Look at those running on the Republican side. Again, not much common sense exhibited.
Here we are at Christmas time. There will be lots of purchases made that defy common sense. This new Nintendo game Wii is taking the country by storm. Two of my grandkids have to have this. They will get them. My daughter-in-law purchased two tickets for Hannah Montana's concert and paid top dollar over and beyond the price of the ticket via the internet. Just had to have them. They went. The concert it over. The whole thing just a memory. In my opinion common sense was not in play. They were happy for a little while. I don't know if the credit card bill has arrived. That will be a reality check.
I will spare you the dumb things I have done without consulting the common sense chart. Usually my missions are based on sound judgements that will stand the test of time. My wife would say, "Yeah!" I hate it when she says that.
I am convinced that common sense is very uncommon.
