RUDE: Buck the trend, be polite

| March 9, 2012 8:00 PM

Just because our Constitution gives one the right to be rude and crude, does not elevate rudeness and name calling to acceptable behavior. It’s not right for men, women, celebrities, public figures or politicians.

Hooray for businesses that support respect and dignity!

Hooray for MIT for instituting “Charm School.” 

Might be something some of our churches might want to consider. I don’t think God or his son were rude, crude or ill-mannered.
