POPSIn Memory of Common Sense Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, “Truth” and “Trust,” by his wife, “Discretion,” by his daughter, “Responsibility,” and

POPSHysteria, not H1N1, taxing healthcare An outbreak of hovering parents nationwide causes the truly ill to wait for care. There are fees for unnecessarily setting off burglar alarms and fire alarms, how about private MD's charging more for Helicopter Hannah bringing in her child during an epidemic of a viral disease which has no cure when the child is merely in discomfort. What passes as "education" by the MSM is often just scaremongering to lift ratings. Maybe a set of guidelines for when to actually seek medical help in a report warning of deaths of toddlers would be responsible.

POPS85-Year-Old Granny Pulls Gun On Intruder, Makes Him Call 911 Good for you Granny! :lol: She grabbed a .22-caliber revolver that she said she began keeping by her bed when a neighbor's home was burglarized recently. "I motioned with the gun -- 'Come on' -- and he went ahead of me in the hallway to the living room, and we got by the telephone and I said, 'Call the cops,' and he picked it up and he dialed 911," said Smith. Smith was able to hold the teenager at bay until the state troopers arrived. "I put him on the floor," Smith said. "I said, 'Lay down on the floor, turn your head that way, spread-eagle your arms and your legs.' That's what they told me to do, and I did it." The suspect will be charged as a juvenile with attempted burglary and related offenses, police said. His name was not released because of his age.

POPSWith A Shotgun And Empathy, Something Remarkable Happened "He said he wanted to convert to Islam, that he wanted to be Muslim like me," Sohail said, pointing to the video. "See? He is raising hand here, and taking oath." They shook hands on the oath. He told the burglar to help himself to bread, and milk. When Sohail turned to open the cooler, the thief perhaps worried his luck had run out turned and fled. "I've known Mo a long time. He's a great guy," one deli patron said. "You can't live in fear." When asked if he hopes his actions left a lasting impression on the crook, Sohail said, "I hope the guy learning, listening, what I did for him, that he be a nice person on this community." Sohail put down the milk. He'd already decided not to press charges. When the suspect took off without the milk but with the bat, bread and $40, Sohail called 9-1-1. But he told responding officers he did not want to file a complaint. "Foiled Robba Begs Fo' Mercy, Vows To Join ''Religion of Peace''"

Despite all the shades of gray, he has to make a decision in each instance, and so his world is an orderly progression of decision, action and result. And if there is the constant background thrum of other people’s bad headaches, it is a chorus he has learned by now to accept."
