Introduction

The motivation to write the book Common Sense Is on Vacation stemmed from one question applied to breakdowns in several major areas or components of our society: individuals; couples; marriage; communities; secondary, college, and university systems; government; and religion. There is an obvious measure of malfunction or dysfunction in each of these major areas of society.

The State of Society

What happened to our world? Very apparently, one thing is missing from our system of thinking and decision-making process. The author believes that common sense is on vacation. We have to bring it back.

The Purpose of the Book

This book walks you through each of the major social components showing where, if common sense had been anywhere in the room, these breakdowns of marriage and family structure, school systems, and government would be minimized considerably and sometimes eliminated.
