Skeet Seer
Is that the Philosophy you follow ?
If so, it is a profound insight into your reasoning processes.

Wondeful thoughts, Skeet. The Buddha is one of the many exemplary Avatars who has inspired many after his incarnation. I am glad you are reading of
his wisdom.
There is alway hope.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Enjoy!

Not too comforting to some folks. Ask Kevorkian.

You're right, vandenberg.
But I don't think Skeet called "The Angel of Death" yet.

Therein lies the problem. There is no such thing as "common" sense.
Isn't that right up there w/ "military" intelligence? |

It's a POLITICAL philosophy we're talking about....

Believe nothing you read or hear. Believe nothing anyone says including Skeet. Common sense might be not sticking your hand in a fire. Can we
agree on that? Do some here have no sense?
Maybe he's writing about this:

Relying on Common-Sense and Reason
Although myriad examples abound (especially Scientific) which would invalidate this philosophy, one that immediately comes to mind is Newton's Second
Law of Motion. It is completely contrary to (uninformed) "Common Sense".

When it comes to politics, I kinda like how Frank Zappa put it :
"Politics is the entertainment branch of industry."

Politics go better with butterbeans, but you need a little cornbread to top 'em off. Some fresh sliced tomatoes really add to 'em. Toss in
a little okra and it's got my vote.

I think Buddha was meaning with that statement the idea of "be a lamp unto yourself"...question everything, especially religion...cross reference,
seek the truth of things. Counterintuitive ideas of physics would fall into that category too but that's less about everyday "common sense" than most
of us are concerned with.

Common Sense-
When you catch a Rattlesnake, you catch Him from the Back of the Head, Not the Front.!
Mr. Bill: How could you even THINK that I would follow anyone??
How could anyone beleive that the Horse has a Tail because some Slimy Anemoe washed up on a Beach a Million years ago??
Wonder Why no one has been able to Make a Human Being.??
No problems with Hangovers-Only been Drunk 3 Times in my Life when I was much Younger.
Smoked Grass One time- It made my Pecker Limp!
Do like to make Love to the Pretty Ladies more than I should at times--Lack of Common Sense I reckon.
Back to the Subject of this Thread for a Lucid Moment:
How many of you check out a Person that is trying to Sell you something of Value: If he is found to be Lying, do you go ahead and Buy??
If someone tells you the Water is 10 Feet Deep, do you just go ahead and Dive, or check it out and then Dive.
I recall my First Jump out of an Airplane at 10,000 Ft. over Lake Elsenore- I took two Chutes!!! Common Sense???
Comon you Posters, How about some of your own Experiences with Common Sense or Lack Thereof.

Lack of Common Sense: Posting on any thread just for the heck of it.

Lack of common sense might inspire a 60 year old woman with a wonderful life and beautiful home to chuck it all and move to the destert to live in a
block house with bars on the wondows ... or maybe it's uncommon sense.
I can only hope.

Hey, you might meet a charming prince in that block house in the desert down there and live happily ever after... That would make sense... I am
waiting for a lady just like you, in just that house...
