Its taken me four days to get back to my blog because of passwords. Man I hate this now! I've entered so many squiggled out images into boxes that its made me see double, and most of them I cant make out anyway.
This is nuts, as like most people you tend to have your favourite password(s), that way if you don't remember, it can only be one of two...Then you come to a new thing, say a blog site and 'they take your security very seriously' et voila, suddenly my password is weak and I've got to come up with another which is more complicated, and harder to remember, just in case someone wants to impersonate me on this blog!
(any takers?), course not, cos apart from me, only my mother has seen it and at her advanced years, I'd be amazed if she could remember me showing it to her in the first place.

A brief description and an example
Well I will try to explain 'Common sense in a world of madness'. There will probably be hundreds of blogs in the same vein, but being lazy, I haven't bothered looking for any.
Basically, now I am a grumpy 40 something, I find more and more things that are explained in complicated terms, primarily it seems, to confuse and confound. However 'explain' is supposed to clarify! I have therefore adopted an old and otherwise forgotten technique much loved of our forefathers, Common Sense.
You will be amazed at the complicated, sensitive and involved problems, sometimes on a global scale, that can be solved with common sense.....Lets try one....
A big one....the NHS.....
The politicians punt this one about, they are scared to say anything in case someones Aunt Mabel had the best nurse in the world etc etc..and how can anyone argue with "who would you like to withdraw medical help from? Your mother or your children" blah blah...so if we forget the argument and apply the Common Sense test....
The NHS is the fourth largest employer in the world...give you a second to let that sink in.....
.......We are the 22nd most populated country in the world.
Now thats not the fourth largest health service employer in the world, its the fourth largest employer of any type in the world.
And the result from the Common Sense machine?
That is ridiculous and needs changing now! Forget the arguments about how, why, when etc. It cant be right! 1.6 million people in the UK are employed by the NHS...its just not right, or sustainable.
I'll fix it if you want, but you wont like it!
I'll come up with a few more as we go along, but I think you can get the gist...
