Greetings folks! You may ask yourself "why in the world would I read a blog about common sense?" Well, it's because it isn't so common! Have you looked around your world lately? Too many focus solely on themselves, not giving any consideration for their fellowman. It wasn't too long ago a President advised, "ask not what your country can do for you but ask what can you do for your country." Trust me, our society has long since forgot that advise.
Common Sense tells a man to open a door for a lady, tells a lady you don't have to dress like a hooker to be attractive, tells guys it really isn't cool to wear your pants around your knees, teaches us all that what we say and the actions we take do matter, disciplining our children isn't child abuse, but rather a responsibility of all parents. Common Sense doesn't allow me to have a 57-inch HD TV, while living on government welfare or to walk around looking for a handout, instead of looking for a job. Common Sense doesn't want or expect our government to do for me, what I can do for myself. Common Sense understands that we are a country founded on Christian principles and that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion. Common Sense believes the right you have to worship or not worship doesn't mean you can prohibit me from worship. Common Sense understands we might not have to pray after a tragedy, if we took the time to pray before one. Common Sense means pay our teachers, firefighters, police officers and military a decent wage since they do make our world a better place.
So you see, Common Sense really isn't so common and I think it is time we put forth a little effort to bring it back. We all gripe about our culture and what the world has come to, but I'm thinking if we spent that time using some common sense, we would be surprised at the difference it would make!
The Common Man
