A Funny set of Words

I have a funny set of words I will not say much about, but I do think they are thrown about way to often.
Common Sense

I love the wonderful book Thomas Paine wrote of the same name. However, in this day and age is there really a "common sense" anymore?

Do I have a common sense of anything with a person who may have lost their legs in war?
Do I have a common sense with a person who didn't grow up in a lower middle class area?
Do I have a common sense with the leaders I elect to represent me?
Do I have a common sense with my friends?

Do I understand what common sense is? Does it stop at don't kill your neighbor because it is wrong, or is it supposed to be more in depth than that shallow view of the nature of man?
Do any of us truly possess a common sense of anything in this world anymore?

I'd love some comments... :)
