Common Sense – Where Is It?

Do you remember growing up and hearing people say, “Just use common sense?”  I witness the lack of common sense every day and have stopped shaking my head. Rather I challenge the lack of common sense and interject facts — not fear or unadulterated stupidity.

I will begin with common sense and our children.

Where was common sense when electronic devices replaced “interacting and making conversation?” Go to any restaurant and observe parents and children staring into the screens of their devices — not speaking to each other.

Where was common sense when you heard that a small child pitches a temper tantrum if their electronic device is taken from them?

Where was common sense when reading books, coloring and arts and crafts were replaced by electronic tablets for children to play video games?

Where was common sense when therapists are now peddling books to “empower” parents to wean their children from becoming addicted to electronic devices?

Where was common sense when children were not seen playing outside, jumping hopscotch, riding a bike, but rather were addicted to Internet games and web sites?  Think the upsurge of obesity in our children might be the resulting factor?

Where was common sense when families could not celebrate holidays together?

Where was common sense when people driving alone in their cars wore masks?  Was it meant to keep them from licking the windows?

Where was common sense when people stuck their arm out for vaccines not clinically tested?  Anyone question how vaccines became available so quickly after a China virus crippled our country?

Where was common sense when a “free country” was told to take the vaccine(s), or be out of a job?

Where was common sense when churches and schools were made to close, but not gyms and liquor stores?

Where was common sense when you allowed your loved ones to die alone in a hospital or nursing home?

Where was common sense when people were made to follow footprints on the floors of stores?

Where was common sense when pieces of plexiglass were installed by store cash registers?

Where was common sense when small children were required to wear masks?

Where was common sense when medical conditions such as asthma were not a medical excuse for employers to exempt employees from losing their jobs?

Where was common sense when medical masks were replaced by black cloths covering the entire face? Ever consider the effect that would have on a child not seeing a face — but rather just eyes.

Where was common sense when there were no questions regarding the disposal of contaminated masks being worn for days on end?

Where was common sense when someone decided how much space should be between people — even while wearing masks?

Where was common sense when people reacted to fear rather than research? The “Fauci lack of facts” were readily available to those who wanted science and not scare tactics.

One day early in the morning at the onset of the China virus, I went to the supermarket not wearing a mask. While walking down an aisle and talking to the manager, a woman came running up to me yelling “Where is your mask?” I didn’t miss a beat and replied “I can’t wear a mask. It violates my parole.” She couldn’t get away from me fast enough.

Our country had its parole violated for several years out of fear — and we can never allow it to happen again.

Below are links to articles I have written regarding “facts” not “fear.”
