George Washington was a good man but he left a lot to be desired as a President. He relied far too much on Alexander Hamilton who believed that only rich intellectuals should be involved in Govt.
He could certainly conduct politicl discourse and even warfare without abusive language. So could all of the Founders. The point I am trying to make is that what passes for political discussions these days seems to involve a lot of personnal attacks and abusive language. This doesn't help with finding a solution of any kind.
Each of us needs to be careful to deliver our arguments in the most effictive way possible. This includes remaining civil and free of abuse.
