Common Sense

Recently, a group of mothers traveled to Iran to visit their children who had been arrested hiking into Iran from a neighboring country. Iran, of course, arrested them as spies and they claim, of course, that they were just innocently hiking along and happened to stumble into Iran by mistake.

Ok, you are staying in a country that borders a hostile country that may or may not shoot you on sight and you made a mistake and stumbled across the border into this hostile country? REALLY? Common sense says that if you are staying in a country that borders a very hostile country, you would make damned sure you didn't hike TOWARDS the border, but rather AWAY from that border. But that is just me and it makes perfect sense.

I'm beginning to think that "Common Sense" is a lost art.

Really! Dancing with devils in the pale moonlight is never a smart idea
