Common sence, ( no, not the conveince store)

I was thinking of this, common sence, what happened to it? I mean when did we loose it. If you think about it, it's been gone for a while. Think back to your childhood, how you were told not to do certain things, or that their would be consequences to what you did, like sticking a fork in an outlet, when you got shocked, your parents told you not to do it again, right. Ot you were told, " now, next time i tell you not to do something you'll listen"



So when did we loose common sence, did we wake up one day and realize that it was gone? No.. was it something we we figured was someone else's responsabiliy, in a way, yes. Let me explain.



As i was saying, if you do something and it hurts, you don't do it again, well that was the way that things used to be done. Today, however, we are told that it's not your fault, such as sticking the fork in the outlet, so now we put little plastic covers on the outlets so that nothing can get stuck in them.. instead of teaching your kids that they don't do things like that in the first place. ( oh wait, that would require parents to spend time with there kids).

When did we start getting away from personal responsability, when did we decide that we are no longer accountable for the things that we do, what we say, or how we react to a stiuation, It's like the lady that wanted to sue McDonald's because her kids we over weight, because they ate at McDonald's everyday for lunch, instead of eating the lunches provided by the schools, so she felt that she had the right to sue McDonald's for making her kids over wheight.. Yet i have never seen Ronald McDonald force anyone into the resturant to get a Big Mac.. So how is that NOT there responsability, didn't they make the choice to go to McDonald's? Didn't she give them the money to buy the Big Mac in the first place.. so what is the result of that, menus that now state the calories, and "healthy choices" on the menus.
I guess that what i am getting at is that 90% of todays problems can and will be solved when we start holding people accountable for there actions, that when personal responsabiliy is given back to parents without the fear of govenment intervention, then we will see not only or economy change but our nation as well...

Untill the next post, watch what's going on around you, listen to what people are saying, and who's playing the "Blame game"
