If he has common sense then sends him over." Rightly so. Many intricate problems in life can be solved through application of common sense, be it family matters, business or running a government. In British parliament and government this is a frequently asked question, "What does common sense say?" Common sense is given priority over researched thoughts.

Unfortunately, in our country the politicians, bureaucrats, and the educated mass do not seem to believe in application of common sense. There are perhaps thousands of cases of national importance where common sense is never used.

Common sense says that if political parties reach consensus on important national issues, then our country can make rapid progress. But this will never happen because our leaders believe in confrontational politics.

My letter may not get the attention of those who are destined to guide our nation but we do need a government run on common sense.
