Common sense???

 A resident made a good point about common sense. It is a matter of perspective. What is common sense to you may not be common sense to someone else. This is true in these highly polarized political times.

My response:

...excellent point! I could make a completely ridiculous statement and support it by saying it's common sense. Afterall, that is why humans thought the Earth was the center of the universe and that objects of different weights would fall at different rates. Common sense. Then people like Galileo came along and proved a lot of common sense to be wrong. 

I suppose what I really mean is that we need to find common ground, areas where there is agreement where we can work together.
