The incivility of our times is not new-or is it?

[Rob Wick]

Bill,

I agree that it is a subjective thing. It seems to me that the advent of easier and faster communication makes it appear that more people are less civil. In all the letters I've gone through of noted historians, many were civil to someone's face, but in private they were just as bitter and hateful as people on the internet appear to be today. And as for morality, if it was more moral in the past, how does one explain how many illegitimate family members Abraham Lincoln had? His own mother was illegitimate. If sex outside of marriage is a sin, it appears to me that many people in his family were sinning with impunity.

Hope you and Donna are doing well.

Best
Rob
