Those if you that read my blog know that I am a fan of “Civility”. Civility is the hallmark of strength and the only effective way to articulate truth.
However our current administration seems to see “civility” in a partisan light. They seem to view “civility” not as a medium for honest discussion but as a blind endorsement of their views.
I would never suggest we be less than civil in our behavior but there seems to be a great need to define what “civility” is and what it isn’t.
Civility is an honest discussion of issues. Civility requires thought and preparation. Civility does not suggest agreement of opposing views.
Civility is a manner that takes the high road in discussions but holds strongly to positions we hold dear. It’s the right tack to take. It’s essential to any meaningful communication.
Lets practice civility in all our communications but lets be prepared to educate others in what civility is and isn’t.
