RE: The incivility of our times is not new-or is it?
I'm sorry, but I don't believe there ever was a "Golden Age" of civility in America, especially where politics is concerned. Also, whether people today are less civil than in the past is only supported by anecdotal evidence. It's easy to think that when you get flipped off or someone on social media calls you an idiot. I guess it all depends on how you view society in general.
