Our modern civilized world often promotes the word 'unique', which sounds like a positive thing.

I have only lived in two countries and in the recent fifteen years in State. I feel a lot of common sense problems in this country.

I guess the following scenario would one day happen.
'Dear teacher, can I dress my kid in ....?'

'How about Supreme Court!'
The scenario could be that no matter what a decision is made, a dispute or eventually a lawsuit could result because we don't share a 'common sense' here. Some other thoughts are, might be, we are less and less tolerant, or 'our' lawyers are more and more aggressive in their professionalism. I am afraid that, one day,
