Common Sense

Thomas Paine wrote a nice monograph with this title. He introduced concepts during his lifetime that were not widely accepted at that time, like human rights, and other ideas of that nature.
Nevertheless as time passed his ideas turned out to be widely recognized, albeit not practiced. All humans have the right not to be killed, as that great man, Joe Strummer, would sing in the eighties.

Now I want to use this title for the following thoughts.

More people in the Middle East

Less Oil coming from there

Coming Crisis

Worrisome...
