To all my friends and neighbours in Wikiville,
On account of my
desire to ensure my kids are OK, I forgot about looking after myself. I was
dealt the worst blow in the 9 years I have been embroiled in litigation on
mothers day. I was too worn down and stressed to notice and deal with the
further blows. I have overcome a few obstacles in my life, however right
now I am hurting so bad and whilst the mind is still fighting, the body is
not. I posted this obituary elsewhere a long time ago. I am putting it here
in the hope that it prevents me moving back to Pityville.
Obituary to common sense
Today we mourn the passing of a
beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No
one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago
lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having
cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the
rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe
it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial
policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies
(adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate
rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in
place.
Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual
harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using
mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly
student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground
when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they failed to do in
disciplining their unruly children It declined even further when schools
were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, sun lotion or
a sticky plaster to a student; but, could not inform the parents when a
student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common
Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband;
churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than
their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't
defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you
for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live,
after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She
spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and
Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son,
Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone
Else is to Blame, and I'm A Victim.
Not many attended his
funeral because so few realised he was gone. If you still remember him pass
this on. If not join the majority and do nothing.
