Yes, as I hear about protesters outside of the Capitol Building chanting "nigger" at civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis, spitting on Congressional Black Caucus leader Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, and calling Rep. Barney Frank a "faggot," I think it might be time for all of us to take a little time-out and learn a time-honored lesson from our friends at Coronet.
Usually I present these videos with a wee bit of snark and tongue-in-cheek, but not tonight. Discourse seems to be breaking down. We seem to have forgotten that our mothers taught us to treat others--even those we disagree with--with respect. Let's not disappoint our mothers.
That is all.

To mamoore: I KNOW. Isn't it scary?
And mom, of course, says it best - It's so easy.
I dunno, TD, I was raised a snowflake, but I was also reminded to not forget that everyone else is a snowflake, too. If I ever have a kid who uses a "push to talk" phone on public transportation, I think I'll go crazy.
I'm all for manners! Rated.
