Why Has Common Sense Become so Uncommon?

[Hagar]

Alright, call me crazy but imo, one of the biggest problems today is the loss of common sense.  Humans have had it for thousands of years.  Why is it becoming extinct?  What has driven it out of the human psyche?  Is it gluten free diets?  To many salads?  To much yoga?  Not enough tobasco?

One prime example, Govt paid healthcare.  Sure, the best HC for everyone would be great.  No one denies that.  But regardless of education, anyone with a modicum of common sense can tell you we can't afford it.

So please fellow posters, seriously, why are humans losing common sense at an alarming rate?  This one thing drives me bonkers.

Common sense is a personal view of things. Logic doesn't enter the picture if one is on a mission with an agenda. Also, lockstep individuals are merely pawns anyway. The strings are pulled by the higher ups. You can call it blind faith. No need to wonder if things make sense if you can have your Play-Doh and eat it too.

We have always had government paid healthcare, its called go to the emergency room and don't pay nothing. Then the hospital charges the patients with insurance and cash more to cover it.

This is why some emergency rooms at major hospitals are closing and springing up the emergency care centers......people without insurance clogging up emergency rooms with headaches.

Now, wtf does your post have to do with common sense? Stay on topic.
