    Common Sense lived a long life but died in the United States from heart failure on the
    brink of the new millennium. No one really knows how old he was, since his birth records
    were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in
    schools, hospitals, homes, factories helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and
    foolishness. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.minibite.com/america/obituary.htm"><DIV>
    For decades, petty rules, silly laws, and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common
    Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in out
    of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, and that life isn't always
    fair.  Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more
    than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids),
    and it's okay to come in second. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.minibite.com/america/obituary.htm">
