common sense would be the not very common sense...i think ideally it should be called the uncommon sense...because you hardly find anybody with it...;)

It sure seems like it, doesn't it! You run into most people and they seem to be out of touch with the most basic of things. Commonsense - that thing that is indeed not common!

It's what you and I speak mate. Over patriotism, over any other ism or bias, i think it's always most important to be, as you once called it, a commonsensical logician.
