has started to be re-written, the best advice would appear to be - RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!!!!

Here again, like with the word "right," the whole notion of "common sense" has been hijacked, reconfigured, polluted, and utterly distorted by too many on the Dark Side. The buzz phrase "common sense" is a brainwashing meme. You add that phrase to ANYTHING and suddenly you appeal to voters with it and make it sound like a good thing. When most of the time, if it comes from the CONS, it's anything BUT a "good" thing.
