It never ceases to amaze me....

...how intelligence and common sense are not always linked together in the same mind. How anyone could think appeasement of Osama bin Laden could lead to anything but death is beyond me, but there you have it. Obviously well educated and intelligent people with common sense whatsoever.

I have a friend who insists that there is no such thing as common sense. He says it should be called "good sense", because it's not all that common.

Maybe he's right.
