Ishihara in the US: “I’m Buying the Senkaku Islands!”
"Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara has announced on a visit to the USA that he is
negotiating for Tokyo to buy the Senkaku Islands, currently the subject of Chinese claims. In a recent press conference given in Washington, he announced that he is negotiating with the private owner of the islands with a view to acquiring the isles for Tokyo."

Actually, there is no such thing as common sense. As GrimaH from HWZ-SG aptly put it :

No, there is common sense. Just because it doesn't apply to politics doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, should you run across the street in the middle of traffic? No, that's common sense. Should you change lanes in traffic without making sure there's not a car directly next to you? No, common sense says you'll cause an accident. Yet these sorts of stupid behavior continue to persist, because people don't have common sense. Just because it's becoming more uncommon doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

As long as you remember that "common sense" used to be "well, the crops failed because she's a witch!! Burn her!!" or "Well, of course the Earth is flat - can't you see?"
That "simple perception" often precludes the "sound and prudent".

The term has become a cliche like "reality" that "nonsense" has become synonymous with them. How is it "common sense" to spend all your savings on investments so you can have a chance to beat inflation in the future?
