WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO COMMON SENSE?

I have updated my connection to the web, and it is just a little faster! Now I can write again. (or at least attempt to write)

Common sense, the innate ability a common man (or woman) has allowing them to make judgment calls. If I do this it will hurt, based on experience and knowledge. Having been tought that the stove is hot during your childhood you don't reach out and touch the stove without testing it first. If you purchase a cup of HOT coffee, you would expect that the contence of the cup would be hot. That would be common sense. To the average man that comment doesn't require interpretation from anyone. There are a group of individuals that seem to have checked their common sense at their bedpost in the morning and require interpretation of ordinary things by extraordinary people called lawyers. These people make a living of confusing ordinary human beings, and removing common sense from the equation. They take reams of paper and meaningless words to inform us that we should not drive through a red light! If the fathers of our nation had the help of today's caliber lawyers the declaration of independence would have been a novel and the publish date would have been around 2007 not 1776. If the judges whose job is to interpret the Constitution would start using common sense in their judgment like Solomon did in the bible a lot of the mess we see around us would not be here.

Does it make common sense for Congress to develop a Government Sponsored Health Care System for the common man that doesn't include the very people that are trying to cram their system down our throats.

Does it make common sense for our Government to spend money beyond its income, then ask us to tough it up and take a pay cut in the form of higher taxes, loss of jobs, and increased Health care costs, but these same elected officials have not once considered a pay cut for them selves, or a cut in the fringe benefits that they enjoy as our elected representatives.

Does this make sense?

At least that is what I think.
