Yeah, I guess you could say I look like the living dead sometimes.

civility will stay the same because the definition will change.

Is society less civil or is it that due to today's rapid exchange of information we are just more aware of uncivil activity?

She also heard from a person who runs a company in Minnesota who said it was not uncommon for employees to call into the office and say they were too tired to come to work.

I still believe it depends on where you are.

When I visit Nashville, there are SOME "screw YOU, hooray FOR ME"-types, but most of the folks are very polite and will move to avoid you; instead of try to walk THROUGH you; and if you make eye contact with someone in passing you will get some type of polite acknowledgement; either a nod, or a 'how ya doin?' or "Hi;" SOMETHING.
BUT HERE.....at home.....nothin' doin.' Sadly, the opposite is the norm AROUND HERE.

I was not raised to behave that way (the "screw you" way) and it has worked well for me my whole life......well not yet.
