Got Common Sense?

Statistical Analysts are saying that educational levels are being reflected in the guy in the White House's approval/disapproval ratings. True? I don't know. I DO know there's also high disapproval among folk who don't have degrees as well.

Personally, I'd find it more interesting to see a Christian poll that shows the approval/disapproval ratings based upon the application of biblical precepts. 

I grew up hearing stories from my mom’s friends and one of her teachers about how smart she was in school. I've often wondered what it would've been like if she could've nurtured that and not have to quit school to work in the fields like many others of her generation. 

As I've seen posted many times, having a degree or education doesn't mean you have common sense. I TOTALLY agree with that. There are folk who are very smart and savvy and don't have a formal or higher education. 

On the other hand, I also believe majoring in ignorance, mastering in willful ignorance, and being an expert in gullibility don't reflect an abundance of common sense either. 

Just keepin' it real...

The Confessions of Mae B. Yew I've Got a Man! June 03, 2010 The last time we spoke I was sportin’ a goose egg on my forehead (compliments of Momma). If you missed my last confession, you can find it at Momma and the Goose Egg . Shortly after I lost my mind and blew up at Momma, I apologized because I was wrong. I don’t know how ya’ll were raised, but I was taught to never ever disrespect my momma. Do you know what she did? Momma kissed my goose egg and said, “Baby, I’m sorry I put this thing on your beautiful face.” She hugged me real tight, and her gardenia perfume drifted over me in a loving, fragrant cloud. That was sweet wasn’t it? Wait. There’s more. Then she said, “But if you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll knock you into tomorrow, then love on ya just like this when you come to.” What can I say? That’s my momma. Enough about Momma and my goose egg. Ya’ll, I’ve got a man! When I became a Christian, I’m not sure what happened. Men of substance stopped coming near me, an...
