The death of common sense
Posted by bishop in Old Content on June 30, 2005
· Schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies
· Reports of six-year-old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate
· A teen suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch
· A teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student
· Schools need parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but cannot inform the parent when a student is pregnant or wants an abortion.
Finally, Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports. Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low-flow toilets, smart guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory air bags.
You know you live in California if…

Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
You make over $300,000 and still can’t afford a house.
You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English.
Your child’s 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze.
You’ve been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.
You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown, and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.
A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.
A low speed police pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.
Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.
A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You don’t even notice.
Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.
Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, and the woman who delivers your mail is into S & M.
You can’t remember…is pot illegal???!!!
Its barely sprinkling rain and there’s a report on every news station: “STORM WATCH 2003.”
You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cells or pagers.
It’s barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.
Both you AND your dog have therapists
The Terminator is your governor.
