Common Sense

Voltaire says that common sense is not so common, but I disagree.
It is common sense that elected President Cheeto. It was with common
sense that slaves were used to increase the Confederate flag. Common
sense murders black men. Common sense dictates grabbing women by
the pussy. Common sense praises cut throat capitalism over good will
society. Common sense is gauged by popular culture. That which is
under common understanding is acceptable by society. Not all features
of common sense are ridiculous. It is common sense to eat. Common
sense demands taking care of our youth. Common sense dictates gaining
knowledge about our environment. Common sense praises taking care of
our community. Common sense is guided by time and popular culture.
This means that people can control common sense for the betterment or
detriment of society and its government.
