Once again, Al, you nailed it! I'm so frustrated by incivility that I want to bash someone with my cane--which is just what I should NOT want to do. To anyone. Ever. Thank you for the reminder. (I greatly appreciated the TED talk.)

Well said, Al. The only people who can change this dynamic is ourselves.

Perfectly said and I am sorry you were treated so rudely. As you might guess, I am polite when out and about and try to add levity to any situation. But I find that people are somewhat surprised to get a smile ,a laugh or a sign of appreciation. It’s such a tough world now. I feel that Reality TV with all of its rude behavior on display has set a tone…and one of its stars becoming President just put the icing on the cake. Rude behavior is now not only ok but valued! Ugh.
