To the editor,
Billboards, bumper stickers and marquees for drive –in theaters and other business are screaming at us all the time. Anger and incivility are allowed to rule public spaces and the public air waves. While free speech is one of the founding principles of this country, do we really need to be so rude to one another? Where have the concepts of civility, consideration for the feelings of others and tolerance gone? When did political passion become more important than the basic good business practice of not offending your customers?
Everyone agrees that we are living in difficult times. We don’t necessarily agree on what the difficult is or what the causes are. Rudeness, crudeness, crassness, and offensiveness can’t help get the job done and it can’t be good for business. We can do so much better.
