If not, Common Sense is a very insightful set of brief and intelligible position papers on controversial topics that are debated as gentlemen are intended to argue their positions.



There are 49 `current topics' that are adroitly argued with facts and insights. The topics are sharply distinguished as controversial, left and right, for or against, matters of the heart or otherwise. Whether you are for or against the argument, for the sake of the argument, Common Sense is effective and interesting.



This collection is certainly one of the best for serving up both sides of the issue. Quite interesting all around.
