Common sense is not tied to skin color. There are plenty of patriots of all skin colors, backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, both sexes, etc on GAW and other dot-win sites, in the US and across the world. Common sense is more tied to one’s upbringing, natural-born curiosity and willingness to delve into understanding why we do or do not behave in certain ways (versus blindly following the sheep). My opinion is that much of the poor behavior we see in those around us is due to fear - and much of that fear has been deliberately instilled in them.
That said, common sense, as the saying goes, seems to be not so common at times.
From my understanding, most societal problems could be resolved, prevented from escalating, and/or prevent reoccurrence; if people just ask WHY?
Why is such a powerful question, that unfortunately (in my experiences) has been "shunned" from being asked. For me, I think it could be brought all the way back to kids; when they're hitting the age of uncontrollable curiosity - they ask "why" to absolutely everything. Parents get tired of answering the questions (I don't blame them) but it comse down to how a parent tries to it shut down. If it's shut down too harsh; it will forever curb that desire to know why things happen.
I think what you've said about the innate curiosity of children is important to remember and if I have kids I sure hope to avoid stifling that nature, even if I may get a bit tired of answering questions.
I'm not a parent, would like to be in the future, but I think its important learn parenting skills as much as possible. After all, most people are just "winging it."
Curiosity is such a powerful force to grow, I hope we're gonna have generation that's all about it. The things we could achieve with that driving force, would be a sight to behold.
