I'm talking about rudeness. Somehow, civility has gone out of American society like the old-fashioned chocolate soda. We're becoming a rude and crude people. A star ballplayer spits in the face of an umpire. A Congressman circulates pictures of the Speaker of the House in diapers.
CDs contain vulgar and hostile lyrics.
Drivers tailgate, cut you off, and flash an obscene gesture. It's gotten so bad that people are finally doing something about it. Americans reacted against candidates in the last election who engaged in mud-slinging. A joint commission has been established to recommend ways to return old-fashioned civility and politeness to American life. And we who read the Bible know why.
