It's the wisdom of the "common" folk contrasted with book learning.


I was always confused over liberal arts.  Then I realized there are

Liberal arts (book learning)
Fine arts (painting, sculpture, etc)
Literary arts (writing)
Military arts (war)

I haven't figured out the terms for science art and mathematical art.

A very sad day, indeed!!

(stolen, blatantly from some random internet site and I am glad I found it!!!)

Obituary for Common Sense.


"We’ve lost a long time friend.

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 (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, teenagers 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 had themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer paracetamol, sun lotion or plaster to a pupil, but could not inform the parents when a pupil became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as 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, but the burglar could sue you for assault because you protected yourself and your own.

Common Sense finally passed away after a 7-year-old child was suspended from school for chewing a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

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 that he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Common Sense finally bit the dust."

 




I thought it died years ago.

It did, but I thought I would  "repost"  its obituary, just in case others out there are still sending mail and phoning.

Of course. That is why I called it a "reposting,"  uhm,  Dude or whatever you are who ...

It almost appears as if you have not found the value, still.
Just let me know how to help.

I am sitting here ,  well a few minutes ago,  deeply engrossed, involved in this really awesome Roberta Flack LP. Now I know that I am going catch hell for keeping an ancient, dead format alive, but Honestly!!!  This record sounds so damn good I had to think about it for a while.

About to play "Beggars Banquet",  by The Rolling Stones using the same media.

Actually it does.  Sometimes even the plunger doesn't work.  Then it's a hand job.  YUCK

I keep thinking about starting a thread called, "Songs YOU love to HATE".  The inspiration being Dave Barry's "Book of Bad Songs".   It would have the video or youtube songs about tunes that make me want to stuff anything into my (or anybody elses) ear canal.  And inspired by the crap music that creeps up on walmart "radio" and retail "radio" in general.   :apondering:

You need to do it. Went to the store last week and I've had one song playing constantly in my head since then.  :zombiefuck:

I wonder if this is a hidden cause of insanity?

I listen to classical music in the car.  Except for classical guitar and violin solos I'm good.
