Long gone are the days when a person had to use their brain and not depend on a computer to do everything for them. I doubt anyone even knows what common sense is anymore because people are too lazy to think for themselves. I sure don't see it and schools aren't what they used to be when you used your brain, paper, and pencil. I also believe we are becoming a nation of idiots as well and most don't seem to care...just stay away from me!

I know some very bright people who have no common sense and I know some above average people who have no book sense. I know very few who are lucky enough to have both.

Was that a sensible decision? Just asking.....
