My Thought for Today

"Common Sense ain't that Common"

One of my friends told me this today. It was funny of course but if you really stop and think about it....its very true! Unfortunate but true. Especially now a days. I mean think about it, for those that are on FB every once in awhile you will see the meme going around that says when I was a kid we drank from those hose, played in the street, yadda yadda yadda right? Well that is basically the same thing with common sense. It used to be that people had more common sense then they did book sense. Then around what, maybe the early 90s or so the emphasis was put on getting book smart, get your degree, its the only way to get a good job. Then technology took off and everyone was using their phone or computer to look up information on the internet or whatever. Sort of like The Big Bang Theory. Its all started with a big bang, first computers, then faxes, then phones, cell phones, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc and now the one thing that helped a generation grow up is all gone! Common Sense. It seems like the young adults and down just do not have any common sense. In fact I bet the ones that are reading this getting offended at it are going to scrutinize the spelling and are saying to themselves. "I have plenty of common sense". 

Sorry folks, but its true, common sense (CS I'll just call it or writing space/time) is gone. It seems no one has it anymore. Look at the engineers, architects, designers, etc.. it seems buildings are designed for max space or to go as high as possible and no thought to people, parking and walkers. At least that is how it is in Los Angeles. I mean seriously you have to park underground, find a pay parking lot or park a few miles away and walk to where you want to go. WHY? Would it not be better if your customers and patrons could park in front of your business. Would that not make them want to come there more, instead of them thinking, well we gotta pay for parking again, lets wait until we can spend the whole day there. Who wants to go shopping for one item and pay more for parking then they do for the item. CS would seem to come into play there and many other situations. Especially in driving. 

Really LA drivers, get a clue. CS would say that if you are in the left hand lane and your exit is coming up that you get over at least a mile before, maybe even two in rush hour traffic but what do you do....you wait until the last second, hold up traffic while your non-CS head decides at the last second to start to try and get over. In the meantime you have a bunch of people behind you stopping and holding up traffic and getting everyone mad at you and working your best to get over. Then accidents are about to happen but who knows what is going to happen. Maybe you get lucky, maybe you miss your exit, maybe you cause a pile up that will cause everyone else on the freeway to be  at least 2 hours late to where they are going. Anyway enough of this. What am I saying? GET SOME COMMON SENSE PEOPLE. If you don't have any, ask an elder person or someone that might know what your talking about so you can learn. 

Have a good hear, talk to you tomorrow.
