A mythical
force that is supposed to bestow
knowledge of the obvious. Unfortunately, humankind has proven, time and time again, that there is no such thing as
common sense.
The
People v. Common Sense:
Exhibit A-
Common sense should tell
people that coffee is a hot drink, and that when spilling it, one should expect it to be
hot. Common sense should also tell
people that eating fatty foods makes you fat. Still, look at the recent pathetic excuses for "lawsuits" against some fast-food restaurants.
Exhibit B-
Common sense should tell
people - even children - that TV shows such as "Power Rangers" are not reality. Two eleven-year-old boys, however, tried to re-enact a scene from the above-mentioned show by burying an eight-year-old
boy alive in the ground, thinking he would grow back out. Duuuuh...I don't think it worked...oops!
Exhibit C-
Common sense should tell the Bush administration to take money from people who actually HAVE MONEY TO GIVE, but instead they choose to take it from people who do not have it.
I rest my case.
