Ironically "common sense" did prevail. Conservatives prefer to use "common sense" rather then facts, logic or the scientific method. Of course, common sense would contradict quantum physics, yet it is the most well tested and accepted set of theories in scientific history, even more so then general relativity and gravity. Conservatives preach to pay attention to common sense and ignore everything else. Unforutnately, common sense is not all it's cracked up to be.
