Thought this was good.

Death of a true patron of man.

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 out of the 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(dont spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies(adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentionedf but overbearing regulations were set in place. 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 that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental conset to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregant and wenated to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businessess; and criminals received better treatment than thier victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could 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 won a big settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Resposibility, and by his son Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I know my rights, I want it now, Someone else is to blame, and Im a victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

I liked it but that must be the condensed version!

I had to leave a couple things out because I knew they would have been censored. There is plenty of a lack of common sense just watch the evening news. Mhall, you should be getting something in the mail this week. Thanks.
