'Common sense' is the mantric lie the stupid and uneducated tell themselves to assuage the guilt over their genetic, inquisitory, and educational work ethic failures. 

Usually, the dimwits shouting about it don't possess it and don't even have a clue as to what it is.

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S.

Is it your position that people who attend college are somehow..."brighter" than those who never went to college?  I know a whole bunch of people who went to college who have jobs make far less than I do....and are not contributing to our society in any good fashion.

Yes, to a certain extent, since it at least shows a modicum of inquisitiveness which is a sign of an intelligent mind.

Monetary recompense does not essentially equate to intelligence.  In fact, in the capitalist system it tends to emphasize far baser human traits and pathology - in a corrupt system, those most corrupt florish.

Big deal, if someone is more educated in History lets say, does that make them more qualified to make common sense judgement?

Yes, and far more likely, because a knowledge of history should lead to not repeating a mistake - which would be showing common sense.

Something we need to remember - half the people in this country have sub-100 IQs, and it is estimated approximately 25% of the people have mental health issues.

You can extrapolate from there the number of stupid people and the possible real amount of 'common sense' in this country.
