Common Sense

I'm not saying that it's in high demand with expressions of 'I can't wait'. Sometimes we overlook the things we really need until it's too late. It's not that I'm hearing massive cries for, 'Whatever happened to...? It's no secret that we take for granted things like the morning dew, and it's been said that we don't miss our water until the well runs dry. Would someone please tell me whatever happened to 'Common Sense? I don't know if she's been spotted in your neck of the woods, but I have been in search of her for some time now, and I can't seem to find her anywhere. Is she taking a sabbatical, a leave of absence, or has she simply up and quit? Anyway, her extended absence is causing me to consider opening a new kind of factory. I don't claim to be a substitute for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but if common sense doesn't show her face expeditiously, I will be forced to launch a campaign for funds, grants, and loans to start producing Common Sense. I'm not comfortable calling it a product, and I'm not interested in making a profit in as much as we all shall benefit and profit. I tell you, we need it like the water we drink. It appears that we have been 'dumbing down' for the longest time, and I'm afraid we will keep sinking deeper into the mud of mediocrity because we have forgotten how to think. I must confess that I'm really not a builder or manufacturer. So I think I'll just pray for the return of Common Sense. 051120PSCtest, Willy Wonka Is Not Here So What Is My Factory Going To Make, Caren Krutsinger
