    Common sense seems to be rationed, and only available to a very small minority.

    I'd just be grateful for people with a sense of right & wrong.  Just because so many don't believe in God these days (I don't & never did) it doesn't mean you don't know what is right & what is not.  I have always believed in the simple "hurt nobody".  It seems to cover all the bases & more than the 10 commandments do actually.  Although common sense probably follows on from that, maybe that is why it seems to be rationed.
