the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense. Mr. Sense had 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

remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come
in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't
always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't
spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids,
are in charge).<O:P></O:P></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

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.</FONT></P>
