	Common Sense Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CSR reform package was markedly neo-liberal in nature, closely mirroring the platforms of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and U.S. President Ronald Reagan during the 1980s.
		The central foci of the CSR were tax reduction, balancing the budget, reducing the size and role of government, and an emphasis on individual economic responsibility (often summarized by an opposition to government "hand-outs").
		On the cities front, some have argued that one effect of the CSR was a process of suburban colonization brought about by the province transferring tax funds to suburbs at the same time as removing them fron the urban core.

	Common Sense
		Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it's okay to come in second.
		Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low-flow toilets, smart guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory air bags.
		Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

	Beware of Common Sense
		Common sense was evoked again last week in support of passenger profiling, and its allure was as powerful as ever.
		The point is an obvious one: if we trusted common sense we would still think the Earth was flat and the Sun sailed serenely over it once a day.
		Today, with passenger profiling, where common sense fails us is not on Einstein's point of prejudice, though there might just be a hint of that about.

	Common Sense
		Later redefined somewhat (misunderstood?) not as the inner sense that responds to what is common to different outer sense organs, but as a lowest-common-denominator collection of beliefs, prejudices, practical know-how, unexamined intuitions, and/or guessing ability thought to be possessed in common by nearly all people.
		Some who appeal to common sense are just trying to pull you back into a state where you can acknowledge what you know to be true even though it doesn't fit into some theory you got from book-learning or abstract speculation.
		I think the common sense (dominant) part of this topic is really trying to describe a well-developed sense of risk, which is the thing that's "uncommonly uncommon".

	Other Important Items Concerning the Revolution
		Common Sense traces the origin of government to a human desire to restrain lawlessness.
		In the American Revolution the minutemen (a patriot-soldier) were special militia units that supposedly could be called to arms "at a minute's notice." The first of these units, organized by the Massachusetts provincial congress in 1774, (Worcester county, Mass.) fought at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775.
		The congress was called by the British crown to effect ways of improving the common defense of the colonies on the eve of the French and Indian War.

	CBC - Ontario Votes 2003 - Analysis - The revolution continues
		When Harris released his Common Sense Revolution in 1994, he was the leader of the third party in a three party province.
		The Common Sense Revolution - or CSR as it came to be known - was the Conservatives' election manifesto, much like the very successful federal Liberal Red Book in 1993.
		The diehard Conservative supporters were angry that the revolution was over and the swing vote, those who voted Conservative the last two elections, still associated him with the huge cuts in government and the problems in Ontario's health care and education systems.

	Common sense conservative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A common sense conservative is an advocate of conservative politics who adopts the rhetoric of "common sense" to frame his or her arguments.
		"Common sense" conservative movements are mostly confined to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, but have spread to Latin America and other regions with evangelical Christian movements which emphasize moral rules, rigid conformity, financial success, and retributive justice.
		Critics have accused "common sense" conservatives of deliberately stirring conflict among opposing groups to clear the way for their reforms, which they say are often simple reactionary moves to eliminate prior regimes of regulation.

	Common Sense
		Common Sense lived a long life but died recently in the United States.
		Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from the Boy Scouts to professional sports.
		As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments regarding questionable regulations such as those for low flow toilets, rocking chairs, and stepladders.

		And it must make sense, too, not to feel guilty about having a national currency, but to use to the full the freedom that comes from having our own.That is why it is so important at the next election to elect a Government committed to keeping the pound, and that is our Sterling Guarantee.

	American Revolution - Thomas Paine's Common Sense Feburary 14th 1776
		But as the colony increases, the public concerns will increase likewise, and the distance at which the members may be separated, will render it too inconvenient for all of them to meet on every occasion as at first, when their number was small, their habitations near, and the public concerns few and trifling.
		And as this frequent interchange will establish a common interest with every part of the community, they will mutually and naturally support each other, and on this (not on the unmeaning name of king) depends the strength of government, and the happiness of the governed.
		Common sense will tell us, that the power which hath endeavored to subdue us, is of all others the most improper to defend us.

		Charles Glenn writes: "The public policy issue is not whether Catholic Charities is correct about the harm of same-sex parenting; it is whether an agency with by all acccounts a highly succcessful record of adoption placement is to be prevented by over-regulation from exercising its best judgment about which families are suitable."
		Glenn's article was interesting and I will continue to ponder it, however, the issue of the role of "common sense" is another matter.
		By the time the people of the province turfed them out of power, (2 terms or 8 yrs later) the general conclusion was common sense made no sense at all.

	Common sense conservative - SourceWatch
		A common sense conservative is an often-radical advocate of right-wing politics who adopts the rhetoric of so-called "common sense" (a concept much debated in philosophy) and outward aspects of "conservatism" (a resentment of social welfare systems and usually also immigration) in order to advance this radical agenda.
		With Bush's controversial rise to the White House, the common sense conservative perspective became globally known, with such moral simplicities as the "Axis of Evil" and "War on Terrorism" becoming part of conservative rhetoric in most developed countries.
		On domestic issues, the "common sense conservative" is usually able to exploit commonality with actual conservative groups who do not share its radical program.

		In fact, the only slowdown the Tories had this year was when Alvin Curling held his one-man sit-in and forced them to spend a few extra weeks passing their so-called omnibus bill last January.
		Lindsay thinks the "clarity of direction" in the Common Sense Revolution (CSR) was the main reason the Tories were able to move as quickly as they did.
		But now that the main promises of the CSR are in place, including the first phase of the income tax cut, the big question is what happens when Harris and his revolutionaries start treading into uncharted waters without the CSR to guide them.
