Bee: Where Has Our Civility Gone?

A vast majority in Bonner County residents feel it’s either dead or on life support, according to a recent online poll by the Bee. Of the 377 people who voted, 22 percent said it’s gone the way of horse-drawn carriages and another 58 percent said it’s barely hanging in by a please and a thank you. Why are we so gloomy about good manners? Is it because politicians seem rude and disruptive as a matter of course and strategy? Is it because of the egocentricity of some entertainers that pushes them to acts of stupidity? Is it because a world-famous athletes acting like children denied a cookie? Unfortunately, these are merely symptoms. I don’t know if it’s selfishness or some  narcissistic gene, but we seem unwilling as a society to let others have their say — or even to agree they have a right to believe something different/ Carolyn Lobsinger , Bonner County Bee.
