Civility

A recent letter to the editor referred to civility. The dictionaries define this as polite, reasonable and respectful behavior. There was a reference also to incivility. The dictionaries define this as rude or impolite behavior.

The letter writer concludes that persons exhibiting rude and impolite behavior must be prevented from holding public office. I agree, and this applies equally to individuals seeking the highest office in our democracy.
