Importance of Civility

Thomas L. Friedman has a great op-ed piece in today's New York Times about a critically important issue, civility in public (and I suggest - private) discourse. It's titled :

Where Did ‘We’ Go?

and can be found at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/30/opinion/30friedman.html?ref=opinion.

He speaks of deligimation of others with our language. I refer to this as dehumanization or just plain insulting. His word choice is exactly appropriate.

Worth reading and remembering in our daily affairs.
