Is common sense rarer than hen's teeth? Not quite but it
seems to be rare and getting rarer.
Since common sense is in such short supply amongst our 'rulers
and betters', and since the deification of the (disconnected)
expert is so widespread - along with manipulation of the
uninitiated - I have decided to blog any examples of common sense
that I come across!
Please send me any examples you come across. Here is an
interesting example that has as its aim the sharing of traditional
indigenous health knowledge of cultures around the world.
They are the Common Knowledge Trust and they say;
About Common Knowledge Trust
Common Knowledge Trust is a grassroots organization
interested in sharing the traditional and indigenous health
knowledge of cultures around the world.
Initially formed as an incorporated not-for-profit in
Australia in 1993, the Trust was also established as a Registered
Charitable Trust in 1995 in New Zealand. We hold an affiliation to
the Traditional and Medical Clinic run by Dr. Barbara Sibanda in
Zimbabwe. (See the Gathering Newsletter)
The Goals and Objectives of the Trust are:

transmit the diverse health knowledge from cultures worldwide.
greenarrow.gif: To encourage the
preserving of cultural health knowledge in an era when the
homogenization of modern health systems is occurring throughout the
world.
