I never understood why there were "hanging chads" to begin with. I still remember voting for the first time at eighteen and when I had finished "punching" out all my choices, I turned the ballot over and pulled off all the "hanging chads"! I was not told to do that, I just thought that was what you were supposed to do!

Mr. "the Knife" and I have been discussing the death of common sense for going on, oh, close to 20 years now. It is disheartening to realize it was probably dying way back when we were in high school. Or perhaps, if looked through the eyes of our grandparents, probably started with the boomers!
Now that I think of it, we could be watching the movie "Idiocracy" come to life on FastForward. Maybe it is as simple as the avalanche/mudslide principle: common sense starts dying in certain pockets of the population (over-educated, ivory tower types) and it metastasizes/snowballs to the general population.
We still find it astounding (and confounding) that amongst our most educated, credentialed friends, they are STILL blind to the abundant data that shows the harms caused by lack of early treatment, lockdowns, masks, jabs, etc. They have eyes that WILL NOT see, and ears that WILL NOT hear.
It seems to us to be common sense to pay attention to doctors who are actually treating patients successfully, instead of a 40 year bureaucrat who hasn't treated an actual patient in decades, if ever!

But that is just us. 🤔
