  2. A quotation from Robert Heinlein

    A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot. […] This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength.

    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
    Friday, ch. 23 [Boss] (1983)

  7. In many walks of life, #rudeness is on the rise.
    Anger and toxicity are hallmarks of social media. Research shows that rude behavior #spreads like a virus, not only through people who experience it but also through those who witness it, and recent polls suggest most Americans believe #incivility has risen to crisis levels. It’s a problem in the workplace, where 3 out of 5 employees report they experience rudeness at least once a week.
