Growing up I was often scolded over foolish acts and told to use more common sense. I slowly learn ed common sense was a term used to describe thinking and acting within practical and wise bounds. Common sense wasn't necessarily linked to ones intelligence or level of skill, but more a way of correctly approaching projects, problems, and issues.
Just as a chain or electric saw should never be operated with its whirring blade pushed in the direction of any body part, it makes no sense that an old socialist like Bernie Sanders can actually color socialism as something bright and shiny. The misdirected blade of a power saw will inflict cutting pain and the rehash of an economic system fraught with total failure will only disappoint another generation of immature idealists. Bernie and other political millionaire hypocrites preaching socialism are no more socialist than Donald Trump or Bill Gates. Our common sense buzzer should warn us that physical hurt follows poor handling of power tools just as supporting a "pie in the sky" economic system run by government bureaucrats can only end in disaster.
Human abortion is tragically a common and accepted practice that makes no sense in the vast majority of medical situations. Why should we kill healthy human beings as our birth rates are declining and the need for immigrants is necessary to complete our employment needs ? God gives us the miracle of human life and aborting innocent babies is very serious and against the laws of nature. Murdering babies has nothing to do with a women's rights.
While a good cause, why is there more heartthrob and celebrity interest "news" about animal rights and mistreated animals than stories about thousands of casually killed babies ? Where is our decency about preserving human life ? Despite empty political posturing, women's rights should not overrule the fundamental right of an infants life.
History is full of good and bad stories of great and roguish characters and their acts. It defies my hold on common sense why we would ever want to erase records of our bad history. Renaming a building, highway or tearing down a statue doesn't change history. History cannot be altered so why all the energy to wash away our sins from the past ? Obviously, we should not celebrate the disasters of the past, but we must remember. First, we should recognize the culture and elements in the past which created dark periods and next we should insure information and knowledge is available so we can learn from the past so as not to repeat past errors. Deniers will never erase the horror of past wars, slavery, holocausts, plagues, and periods of religious persecution.
Have we become so politically correct to forget that our Creator built a universe of humans and animals featuring only two sexes. While a wide range of variations have developed in recent times, the gift of producing more alligators, humans or bluebirds can only be accomplished by a male and female of each species. Departures from male and female types are now generally accepted with a laundry list of justifications. I guess its OK to deviate if your actions don't endanger the health or safety of your neighbors, however there is a total disconnect when people actually believe God and nature designed a series of exotic sexes.
Violence and murder among neighbors, families and directed at innocent masses has been on the rise. Common sense should point to dysfunction's among individuals, mental illnesses, fatherless homes, economic depression and a failure of families and churches to monitor their troubled members as the main reasons. However, the only solutions from our political leaders is to plaster more gun laws on books already crammed full of older gun laws. There is a reason murders are generally the worst in cities and states with the most restrictive gun regulations because bad people don't recognize or follow laws. If all guns magically disappeared violence from evil people would simply be rendered with knives, hammers, rocks, clubs, poisons, pressure cookers, etc.
To repeat for emphasis, the current wave of socialist excitement in America is absolutely stupid. First, by any measure all attempts to install socialism in other large nations has failed, economies have collapsed and people have suffered. Second, how can anyone think the government running more things can be good thing. Except for waging war, most governments are inept in providing better services or products than a free market of entrepreneurs and capitalists. Advocates of socialism need to know history and become aware of how the real world works.
In my seventy something opinion, many have strayed from pragmatism, common sense and good judgment to another place where common sense, political correctness, and fantasy exist.
