Probably because they are a bunch of wusses who can’t stand a raised voice or anything else that makes them bestir themselves-even a verbal attack in the process makes them scurry to hide in the nearest closet. Or they live in a computer fantasy world, like the aforementioned neighbor.
I guess they want a kinder, gentler election, and adventures make one late for dinner-didn’t Bilbo Baggins say that in LOTR?
I find it interesting that with all the lamenting of lost civility, a little read about political habits up until the 20th century will show that “civility” was not the norm-scandals, arguments in congress employing f-bombs, fisticuffs, outrageous comments on sex lives, calling each other out to duel (Alexander Hamilton, anyone?)-it sounds more like sheleigley (sp) rules in a pub of the time-what political correctness? Maybe we ought to go back to that-politicians might not be so inclined to attack or spread lies if they knew someone was going to kick their ass in public...
