Sense not so common anymore

Last week a Wisconsin woman called the police to turn herself in for drunk driving. In 2006, a Michigan cop high on weed brownies that he made from confiscated drugs called the local police to report “that he was dying.” He fortunately lived long enough to resign from his position in the Dearborn Police Department.
Both of these cases, and many other idiotic anecdotes becoming more frequent these days, are affirming something that many people, including myself, believe: Common sense is going the way of the Dodo bird.
While I’m glad drunk drivers and corrupt cops have enough sense to turn themselves in for their wrongdoings, why didn’t they just not do it in the first place? Doesn’t it only seem logical that you just shouldn’t do those kinds of things?
Take the Darwin Awards for instance. People are doing so many stupid things these days that people can create a Web site to hand out posthumous awards for the most ridiculous and irresponsible acts, like trying to cut down a power line while standing in a puddle of water from a rainstorm. Bravo.
While there are many people effectively using no semblance of common sense to remove themselves from the gene pool, there is hope! And what form does this ray of light come in? The Miller Highlife man.
It’s only logical that people who are inclusive in their festivities should get the better beverage! Who wants to pay more money just so they can say they’re a Very Important Pinhead?
All jokes aside, people need to start using some more of that God-given common sense. This may seem like a silly rant to many, but I just can’t stand some of the asinine things I see every day — people asking stupid questions (and there are stupid questions), asking for unneeded help, and doing things that are obviously going to end badly.
There are some people that are beyond saving, so lets all pitch in a little bit and lend some logic. But lets all try and use our noodle a little bit more, for everybody’s sake.
