Today we mourn the passing of an old friend, by the name of Common Sense. Common Sense lived a long life but died in the United States from heart failure on the brink of the new millennium.

He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools, hospitals, homes, and factories, helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and foolishness.

When I was a young man I was DOS. I spent my days in simple surroundings, and expected little out of life. Then, one day, for no apparent reason I decided to change the way I looked.

So, like a snake, I tossed off the ...
