Back in the day, there was always the posiblility of getting yourself beat down for disrespecting someone (not that that is the answer, but it did keep knuckleheads from being so rude all the time). Now, put someone behind the wheel of a car or a phone or a keyboard, and they are suddenly rude, crude, disrespectful and arrogant cause no one can touch em.
Just my 2 cents worth. It's up to the rest of us to season things positively. I am not always successful and give in to emotion sometimes, too. But I try to live by the words of the famous philosopher, Aretha Franklin, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T".
