COMMON SENSE
My parents told me about Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on her when making decisions. It seems she was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by. Today I read her obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance, for Common Sense had served us all so well for so many generations.Obituary: Common Sense Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old she was since her birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. She will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing; when to come in out of the rain,why the early bird gets the worm,life isn't always fair,and maybe it was my fault.Common Sense lived by simple,sound financial policies(don't spend more than you earn)and reliable parenting strategies(adults, not children are in charge). Her health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student,only worsened her condition.Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student,but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses;and criminals received better treatment than their victims.Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own homeand the burglar could sue you for assault.Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement.Common Sense was preceded in death byher parents, Truth and Trust;her husband, Discretion;her daughter, Responsibility;and her son, Reason.She is survived by three stepbrothers;I Know my Rights,Someone Else is to Blame,and I'm a Victim. Not many attended her funeral because so few realized she was gone.If you still remember her, pass this on.If not, join the majority and do nothing.
Thank You!

Rais mteule Barack Hussein Obama na familia yake, wakiwa wameelekeza macho na masikikio kwenye luninga usiku wa tarehe 4 Novemba. Mamillioni ya watu duniani kote walikuwa kama kina Obama katika siku hiyo ya kihistoria. Zimebakia siku chache kwa jamaa na familia yake kuingia Jumba Jeupe na matumaini ya walio wengi ni kumuona bwana Obama akiliongoza Taifa hili kurudia kwenye neema na maendeleo kwa watu wake pamoja na kulirudishia heshima duniani.
Kwa maoni ya walio wengi, Rais anayemaliza muda wake(bwana Kichaka), ametuyumbisha sana kwa kutuingiza kwenye mengi ya matatizo tunayokumbana nayo kwa sasa. Historia pekee ndiyo itakayo muhukumu bwana Kichaka kwa damu nyingi aliyoimwaga Iraq na mengi mengineyo.

Tanzania imetimiza umri wa miaka 47 tokea tupate uhuru na mwelekeo wetu katika kuendeleza umoja na amani bado uko katika hali nzuri. Pongezi kwa viongozi wetu na Watanzania wote kwa ujumla.

Mwalimu Nyerere akiwa na Bibi Titi Mohamed ( mwasiasa mwanamke wa mwanzo ), kwenye mkutano wa TANU katika viwanja vya Jangwani. Hii inaonyesha jinsi gani kina mama wetu tayari walikuwa mstari wa mbele kisiasa, na kama sikukosea kwa nchi kama Marekani kina mama walikuwa bado si ruksa kupiga kura achilia mbali kuwa viongozi.

Baada ya wiki moja ya kupajua rumande kukoje hatimaye Yona na Mramba wakubaliwa dhamana ya karibu shilingi billioni 2.9 kila mmoja. Yanayotokea nchini mwetu yanatuonyesha kwamba huu ni mwanzo na mengi yanafuata. Siku itafika kwa sheria na haki kuwa ni mambo ya kawaida Tanzania. Ole wenu kwa mliodhani kwamba sheria za nchi hazitawagusa.
