Since I have not been able to vent anyplace else and this struck me today, its so true. and since nobody I have dealt with today had any!

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense. Mr. Sense had 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 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.)

Mr. Sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense 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 financial 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.

well put bugsy.

ob1 · 03-02-2006

Yeah, nicely stated.

KUfan_Donnie · 03-03-2006

I'd wager that Common Sense is survived by another relative, too:

Nebraska Values (a cousin of Republican)

It's a fictional set of higher morals, etc. that I guess Nebraskans think they have

teamriot38 · 03-03-2006

nebraska values are the price flux's of meth in the area.

I'm glad you started this thread. This one has been bugging me all damn day:

guidothekillerpimp · 03-03-2006

I'm proud that i apparently have no values ,feels good to have nothing to live up to

shutterbug · 03-03-2006

I sort of question my values I think

mike · 03-03-2006

I don't question my values,I just question where I am from.

shutterbug · 03-03-2006

That could also be true

TwistednEvil · 03-03-2006

I have my own values, but unlike a lot of people in this state, I don't feel the need to force them on anyone else. The concept of "Nebraska Values" is load of crap anyway. They keep pushing "Nebraska Values" yet no one seems to be able to define them.
