Common sense-can john Robert's even posess or apply it?

I just happened to see Neil Cavuto's show Title, Common Sense. It made me think that we do not even know what that is today. We can't be sure that Supreme Court Justice nominee even has ot let alont the ability to apply it unbiased as we are led to believe he can. Common sense belongs to the common man. It is the sense derived and learned from being the common, average, man in the trenches of society. As the born rich and the elite you cannot posess common sense unless you can feel the common citizen's soul and experiences and let them influence your life and govern your actions. The elite have a sense learned from their position in life.
This is not the sense learned from being a common citizen. You can see what the average, common, citizen is experiencing but not feel it and there by know how to address their needs. Today we are led almost exclusively by people who fall into this category. Being ruled almost exclusively today by this category of people who wrongly think they know what the common citizen is experiencing and needs, is a large part of our problem today. Coupled with our leader's allegiance to special interest and their own selfish interest's we have the problems we are experiencing today. During Thomas Jefferson's day it was widely believed that anyone, farmer, or butcher, once upon entering a society would then automatically gain common sense and do the right thing for society and not themselves. this as we all know, is no longer true. But, as displayed by Katrina's heroic recovery efforts I myself believe we are relearning many lost principles valuable to a strong viable society. The fear in Thomas Jefferson's day was that someday we would cease to be governed by common sense and use reasoning to make decisions instead. thus we have the creation of laws. What our fore fathers feared is exactly what we do today. That too is a large part of our problems today. We must get back to Thomas Jefferson's intentions for the interpretation of the Constitution. We must stop redefining it's meaning in order to satisfy our own personal selfish desires.www.anaveragepatriot.com
