Reminds me of a chain mail I got a long time ago from a friend:

Text Only:

Common Sense Obituary

>

> Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has

> 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, life

> isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

>

> Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more

> than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are

> in charge).

>

> His health began to deteriorate rapidly 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.

>

> Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job

> they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It

> declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to

> administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could

> not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an

> abortion.

>

> 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 took a beating when you couldn't

> defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you

> for assault.

>

> Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to

> realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her

> lap, and was promptly awarded a huge 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 three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame,

> and I'm a Victim.

>

> Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
