| Description | If you think America is going to hell in a handbasket, you are wrong. It’s going to hell in a very large rolling bag. Or maybe a steamer trunk.
A new survey on uncivil behavior in America, released exclusively to POLITICO, indicates that nearly every American has been messed over by someone else, and most of us are messing back:
Some 86 percent of Americans say they have been victims of incivility, most commonly while driving (72 percent) or while shopping (65 percent.) About six in 10 Americans admit they themselves have been rude.
The survey, taken of 1,000 Americans in May, was conducted by Weber Shandwick and Powell Tate in partnership with KRC Research. The survey gives no definition of what uncivil behavior is. My definition is that if you cut me off in traffic, that’s incivility. If I give you the finger for doing it, that’s justice. |
