Anyone else remember the 'Common Sense Revolution' in Ontario? Those old enough to remember Harris/Eves will recall that their 'Common Sense' was mostly 'Nonsense.'

"Common sense" is just dog whistle for "my feelings are more important than your facts" anti-intellectualism. It's permission to disregard any evidence in favor of what feels right.
