Common Sense(or lack there of)

 
COMMON SENSE
 
 
A serious discussion ensued between myself and a Friend not long ago concerning the seriousness of something lacking in today's society. I have been having conversations like this with people for many years. Understand that the intensity of these discussions become more radical with every beer consumed.
Many times I have wondered why it is  that the Government in all their wisdom do not have the God given sense to solve problems the way Common folks do! Barn for an office, bail of hay for a seat, Cooler full of beer. problems solved in a matter of hours.
Disagreements may sometimes may arise But, there is always conflict resolution ! In my world Conflict resolution is when 2 people disagree  a fight ensues and the one still standing wins the argument "conflict resolved"!
In my most recent discussion a friend stopped he was concerned about the lacking of common sense in today. Oooh that's easy  I answered ! People with no Common sense are a protected species Now!
We had already consumed several cans of liquid intelligence mind you.
 
HUH? was the response I got from him. Trying to explain something in a partially inebriated state of mind makes things much easier being as there are no inhibitions. (it also helps if the other party is drunk too)
In the old Days stupid people died as a result of their stupidity. thus there were fewer of them and folks with common sense outnumbered the stupid. the Government in all its wisdom saw this trend many years ago and started the labeling campaign.
Forcing people into a Government run save the stupid campaign! seat belt laws, food labeling such as snacks like peanuts for instance. "Warning may contain peanuts", do not iron clothes on body.
Helmet laws, smoking laws,etc etc etc. Some of which may not be stupid because I see them as personnel choice thing but, none the less in turn it created a mind set that if big brother doesn't say its Good then it must be bad! So don't do it.
Therefore you must conclude that more of the stupid survive now! 
In the Days of old there wasn't any Walt Disney telling us that bears were cute cuddly creatures that just run and play in the forest with the deer and elk and Bunny's. there was only say 2 guys sitting around a camp fire, a grizzly bear runs in and eats one guy and the other guy ran.
we are the offspring of the guys that ran. 
For many years we carried the genes that said if you see something scary! running is not a bad idea therefore the people with common sense survived and the stupid ones became room temperature Or Bear scat( reference the Documentary Grizzly man)   
My friend was getting the picture because he was now holding his Beer in the air yelling "YEAHHH that's right you rock DUDE"
 OK, he's not really a friend just neighbor that was out of beer.
personally I am in favor of stupid People removing themselves from the gene pool because its getting pretty polluted now.
Not that I know a lot of people that I would like to see take a dirt nap. Just the ones that irritate me with their ignorance. After sorting this problem out for my friend he was happy, now that he had drank over half of my beer.
Not all people with no Common sense are stupid though some have Adapted to a new way of life in this modern day world. These new ones we will call moochers. these are the ones that think everyone else is stupid and play on there kindness and generosity. hence the loss of over half my beer. Now moochers won't do anything on their own to hurt themselves they have to be pushed into it. not that one should  intentionally hurt someone else mind you or push them into it but, the power of suggestion is a Strong motivator.
I did suggest to my neighbour that he should go Pet my cuddly new Bull that i just bought before he goes home. Not sure what really happened But he hasn't been back for beer.
 
Smile everybody It's just life!
God Bless!
