I was cleaning out my office closet this morning (now I am pooped) I came across this:

Obituary

Today we mourn the passing of an old friend, by the name of common sense.
Common Sense lived a long life but died in the United States from heart
failure just after the new millennuim. No one really knows how old he was, since his birth records were lost long ago in bureacratic red tape.

He selflessly devoted his life to service in
schools, hospitals, homes and factories helping folks get jobs done without
fanfare and foolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held no power over common sense. He was credited with
cultivating such valued lessons as to
know when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm,
and that life isn't always fair.

Common Sense lived by simple sound financial
policies (don't spend more than you earn)
reliable parenting strategries (the adults are in charge, not the kids),
and that it is ok to come in second.
A veteran of the idustrial revolution, the great depression, and the technological revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and educational
trends including body piercing.
"whole language" and "new math". But his health started to decline when he
became infected with the "if only it helps one person it's worth it"
virus. In recent decades his waning strength
proved no match for the ravages of well intentioned but
overbearing regulations. He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self seeking lawyers. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools implemented zero-tolerance policies.

Reports of a six-year old boy being charged with sexual harassment for
kissing a classmate, a teen was suspended for taking a swish of mouthwash
after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition. It declined even further when schools had to get parental approval to give a student an aspirin, but could not inform a parent when a student was pregnant or wanted an abortion.

finally Common Sense lost his will to live as the ten commandants became contraband, churches became bussinesses, criminals received better treatment than the victims, and judges stuck their noses in everything
from the Boy Scouts to professional sports.

Finally, when a woman, too stupid to realize that steaming coffee was hot, was awarded a hugh settlement, Common Sense threw in the towel.

And as the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but kept
informed of developments regarding questionable
regulations such as those for low flow toilets, roacking chairs, and
stepladders.

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 his stepbrothers: My Rights, and Ima Whiner. Not many attened his funeral because few realized he was gone.

CS has gone a long time ago....sadly..everything is about money..we KNOW best, right?

[MartiSALLE]

I can't help but wonder if you have money ......
Do you can get better reactions and results from Medical health Professionals
I know money would help me anyway in the form of all the natural things we need

I don't think money has anything to do with it. Doctors just aren't trained much about parasites. They think it's Rare . And the tests are usually false.
I'm having luck with 4000mg of odorless garlic a day.

I so totally agree. our country as a whole is going to Hell in a handbasket.
Our government is owned by BIG Pharma and BIG Chem.

I have been here for 71 years now, was an educator, parent, etc. and what I have seen is so aptly put in the obit. Greed is destroying the USA and the world.

How sad!
