Unfortunately "common sense" cannot guide society. It doesn't work. Common sense says that we shouldn't rob banks, but people do, so there are laws against it, and agencies to enforce those laws.
There are no laws against walking your dog on a leash, but common sense says that you shouldn't let your dog poop in somebody's yard. But people do it and there is nobody to enforce anything. Yet some people think it's okay.
What is common or sensible to one is never exactly the same to the next person. So, who decides??????????
