Common sense is acquired from mixing it up and living life... Yes, it is sad that kids today are so over-protected that they aren't going to have a chance of achieving common sense...

Most of us came up when our parents told us repeatedly to "beat it" which meant stay the heck away from them... No problem...

But, hey, there are folks who should have gone thru that who didn't and ain't got a lick of common sense... To protected for their own good...
