sideshowbob: Ummmmmmmm? can you please ask a simpler question, I'm a wee bit confused and while we're on the subject- what the hell does common essence mean?
It means wake up and smell the roses in the correct order!
Reporters at the CS Courthouse have some information for us; Common sense was murdered in the 80's. Political Correctness has been found guilty of its murder
Well... I am the EYE WITNESS of the MURDER of common sense. I can surely remember the hideous face of one of the MURDERER : It was "JEALOUSY". Can you people tell who else could commit the crime?

Most people have no sense, common or otherwise; they are only obsessed with the common.
