common sense

and speaking of......common sense. It has been said that, "common sense is decidedly uncommon". Can this be true? Albert Einstein said that "all 'common sense' is nothing more than a collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen". How's that for a simpletonian phrase from an individual acclaimed the world over to be a genius? I prefer this unattributed quote: I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty and common decency, and therefore this makes me forever ineligible to to run for any political office. Too bad this credo can not be universally applied to politics as a whole. Credits: Wikipedia & Me
