| 1. Common sense can be a funny thing. |

In the 50s and 60s, many people would argue for "common sense" regulations promoting racial separation. "Anyone with common sense can see that it can't be good for our society to have whites and coloreds eating in the same restaurants." Today, many people will tell you that "marriage can only be between a man and a woman, it's just oommon sense." Appeals to common sense are often used to discourage deep analysis of an issue.
