IT IS OK TO BE POLITE

It seems like people are confusing common courtesy with being politically correct (especially on social media). Why is it so difficult to say things like: "good morning", "please", and "thank you"?

Why is it when organizations and people do something wrong, the first thought is to "CYA", also known as "cover your assets"?

Can you imagine how many lawsuits could be prevented and how much money could be saved on settlements if police officers would just say sorry when they screw up?

Can you imagine a political debate where they actually debate using Roberts Rules of Order, and they are courteous to each other? News flash, the American people do not want to see grown men up on stage fighting like schoolyard bullies!

Education, road rage, shopping, networking, dating, etc, etc; would all be so much easier if we just remember this one simple thing:

It is OK to be polite.
