What the hell is it with our American society, that wé
only ascribe the formal and respectful address of “Mr.” to every scumbag in the news? There’s some weird psychological and inauthentic aspect at play, that I don’t understand.

"What the hell is it with our American society, that we only ascribe the formal and respectful address of “Mr.” to every scumbag in the news? " I agree. Or, how about "the gentlemen". THAT one drives me crazy. What's wrong with "the guy", or "that guy".
