Excellent post, and very true! Common sense will one day be resurrected, along with his daughter, son, and wife. :HeartThrob:
Common Sense was executed for false advertising. He wasn't that Common, or he wouldn't have been butchered by so many fools.
Common Sense was executed like a criminal and now awaits all fools in the lake of fire to take them by the hand and lead them back to Father through Christ.
Or perhaps Common Sense is the lake of fire. My body aches almost to the burning point every time I see/hear stupidity. Even if I don't say anything, OH THE PAIN in my heart, stomach, arms, etc.
