Comment CommonSen$e (Score 1) 239
I propose a drastic change: add a fourth branch to the U.S. government. The new addition to the checks and balances system would be called the House of CommonSen$e (note the format of the name: it will be created in the technological age and therefore must be new. It's also a lot cooler than 'judiciary' or 'executive'.)
The implementation is simple: every court would receive their own HoCS representative. A rep for HoCS would be the man from the community most likely to be stereotyped as the father from A Christmas Story. A HoCS-man's job would be simple. When the plaintiff's claim is stated, the rep considers whether or not the blame is at the level of common sense. If the blame is valid, the HoCS-man bangs his gong once. If the plaintiff's actions were within the bounds of common sense, the gong sounds twice (after banging the gong twice, the HoCS-man may or may not throw feces at the plaintiff).
With a House of CommonSen$e, we would able to view perilous car advertisements and dangerous 'ideas' without the need for Do not attempt or The Fine Print: The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. We are not responsible for them in any way messages.
