common sense and logic

[picketwire]

Seems there is a need for common sense and logic nowadays and it is in very short supply. Probably not what this category is about or even for but could not help myself. Someone out there please explain to me where the common sense and logic have gone. Glenn, feel free to move or delete if you feel it is necessary.

The last 24 hours have proven to me the lack of what I asked about is rampant even on these boards. Very disappointed.

Well, Spock, please point out the error of our ways! And be specific!

I have thought long about this for awhile and have come to this conclusion. A bunch of scenarios playing out from certain events and comments dealing with issues local to my immediate area as well as state and nationwide dealing with mostly current events has lead me to my own personal 'Don mclean' realization. It seems as of late the ability to listen and really understand what a person has to say is gone. The amount of rash, rush to judgment resulting in completely erroneous basis and a seemingly never ending amount of rudeness and inability to even consider a different explanation much less the truth of the matter has me pretty sick of humanity right now. May be nothing more than my current hectic schedule and the possibility that I am just becoming a grouchy old fart, but I truly am sick of the lack of courtesy, good manners and understanding that seems in so much supply. It used to be recognized and behavior would correct itself and the only thing missing in my mind to explain why it does not is a lack of common sense and logic. It is difficult to point out any one example in so small of a place with so much limited room and time to do so. Rest assured I remain the same opinionated, grounded in reality, stubborn @$$ I have always been and just in case I am part of the problem rather than part of the solution I will be attempting to curtail my tongue for awhile.

From one grouchy old fart to another, don't let it get you down! At the same time that the ability to communicate with one another has gotten easier, it seems that the ability to read and comprehend has gotten measurably worse. "I hear ya!"

And, if Trinidad has a Rant/Rave Facebook Group, don't join it - or you will find out very quickly how many MORE idiots that you are living among in your own town. More than you ever dreamed could exist!
