The lack of civility at work in America now as politics and cultural wars have balkanized the nation into rival factions.
Fanaticism, hatred of differing others, increasing rudeness and threatened violence against opponents, aggressive posturing, impugning the motives of good people that just happen ti disagree with us--all these behaviors set up a situation where those that do not go along with what we say and believe are enemies to be avoided, shouted down even attacked as treasonous and un-American.
We need to agree to disagree and treat each other with civility and respect, or civil war will rend this country apart as we lose our republic and civil society. War, strife, neighbors armed against neighbors, all of these signs of upheaval and vicious bickering will culminate in a police state.
