Idiocy and and the Fall of Common sense

As my wife often reminds me as I'm shaking my head at a startling example of government fiscal (in)competence or interesting interpretations of driving rules of the road, "Common sense isn't that common".

Another startling example of synaptic failure is the raid by 60 activisits on a French research centre in Alsace destroying 7 years of internationally recognized work toward a solution to Grapevine Fanleaf virus(GFLV). The report published by Decanter magazine also goes on to explain that these mental deficients are unlikely to get more than token punishment.

While I am not a supporter of GMO(genetically modified organisms) in our food supply. I do think that research with appropriate safeguards is necessary especially in this case given the destructiveness of the GFLV virus.

In the words of comedian Bill Engvall "Here's you sign".
