Common sense is dead. Long live logic.

This is starting to peeve me off so much that I've decided to write about it, so apologies in advance if this sounds like a rant.

Common sense no longer appears to exist in today's society (certainly in Britain anyway). All we ever get are rules, rules, rules, which must be followed to the letter! Its beginning to drive me mad. Things like small speeding offences take on the significance of genocidal proportions, whilst boy-racers screaming through at 100mph along narrow country roads get away with it.

Don't get me wrong here - I love motor-racing, and I love speed. But it has no place on the public road. Driving there is about comfort, smoothness and to an extent safety. Yet the common sense which used to rule this country just doesn't exist any more, in any shape or form. We are told to obey the rules or else - common sense is just assumed, and unfortunately stupidity or blindness is in its place instead.

I honestly blame this on the information age. We have gone completely overboard - computers have shoved us into the form of unthinking robots with none of that vital human thing - the sixth sense, heart, emotion - common sense.

And this needs to change soon. Or we'll have 30mph speed limits on motorways soon enough, I'm telling you now.
