I thought the common sense zone was a myth. No one knows where it is, or how to get there? Do you need that special compass from the Pirates of the Carribbean movies to find your hearts desire in order to locate it?
I was a teenager during the mid ‘60s/early ’70s. We were so preoccupied with “individuality” we couldn’t see straight. Do your own thing; be free; no one can tell you what’s what, etc., etc., ad nauseum. It wasn’t great, especially given the fruits of that time. But this fever to “identify” as SOMEthing is stupefying. To become “US” so we can know who “THEM” is so we can go to the mattresses of words of hate agin ‘em. To seal your mind and your soul, or whatever you call what makes you YOU, in the concrete of an identification is counter to life which is, by one definition, change in the interest of growth. I’m not opposed to personal boundaries of mind and person; am all for the constraints of ethics, courtesy, respect and decency. But the straitjacket of an “identification” constructed by others is anathema to me.

I thought it would be her campaign headquarters. Common sense need not apply.

Sense and courtesy are all but common now a days

I think the ‘common sense zone’ is just another aspect of the Dunning – Kruger Effect.
Those least likely to have ‘common sense’ are the most likely to invoke it.
It’s just common sense, don’t cha no! ㋡

Doesn’t Winslow, being the liberal, need a passport to enter the state of common sense?

The common sense zone is difficult to enter, you might even say it’s a Paine.
