Look folks, all I said about commonsense was don't sneer at it. I didn't
paste it up as an alternative world-view or solution to world suffering.
It's just a practical means of survival. If you abhor it you do indeed
have to start posting your letters in garbage cans, I don't see any
alternativet. Actually I can think of a poet who used to do that,
especially when they had cheques in them.
The reason for not sneering at it is that it belong to people at large, who
may not be so historically conditioned as some like to think, where it
functions as an acknowledged decency in diurnal usages.
The Marxists of course speak a different language in which commonsense is a
boojwa monster crushing the salt of the earth under its feet. There's no
doubt a logic to that.
