Re: The common wisdom
George Bernard Shaw had it about right when he said: "The trouble with common sense, is that it is so god damned un-common."
Poor SADI never had any-his silver spoon keeps deflecting any coming his way.
And Tom, yours seem to be connected to a rare form of constipation. Every once in a while you erupt with intelligence and the rare virtue known as "common sense," and then abruptly bottle it up again.
Try the laxative of empathy and let your heart grow two sizes Mr. Grinch. If your reasoning capacity were added you would indeed be formidable.
