The Tucson Shootings, Civility and the New Class War Zone

Instead of using 'civility' to cover up reality, how about a people's civility intended to reveal it

Thank you for the commentary TRNN. While what happened in AZ is a tragedy & a life is precious, how can it be more precious than the woman that took her life because the banks repossessed her home? Or how can these lives be more precious than those that had bombs fall on them because of an illegal war?

Banks stole from people & made their lives miserable. Politicians protect them & apply austerity to the innocent to pay for the crimes of the criminals. Civility? Ok, but where is justice?

What has happened to America ? A nation founded on slavery and genocide, grew rich by war. We are not in trouble. All is marching as planned. JP Morgan who financed the wars against our original population, with a fortune made from the carnage in Crimea, is still raking the profits today_ 16 billion in 2010. The marriage of bankers, soldiers and politicians created Manifest Destiny, taking us all the way to Iraq. One party of $ for $ by $. Civility ? T.V. Off

This is BS, People get killed in tragic ways all the time. I mean people shoot schools and public buildings. This is only high profile because of the people involved. I mean people have attacked political figures and celebrities before it happens that is why they usually have security. How often does it happen. We need to stop these fallacies of emotional appeal. Its used all the time on the Media. It is used to make people not think logically. How often does this happen, how often??????

lack of civility is not the cause, it is a symptom. If we look at a documentary of life back in the depression of 1930s we see people who had nothing but still managed to maintain their composure, their spirit, their pride. Today people appear to be walking talking zombies. Depressed, no spirit, no sparkle in the eyes, no pride nothing. Just empty....why?

Thats good, most people do. However, mentally ill people are more easily triggered by their social circumstances.

@darksideofthenation I'm barely employed and running out of options too, but I've managed to avoid threatening people.

[darksideofthenation]

Its hard to be "civil" when you are unemployed and you are out of options.

[Apocalypse487]

Man, He is very genuine about this. It's very commendable. Other news casters couldn't care less.

Had more mixed feelings about this than most of what I see from TRNN, not only because of the mispronunciation of the names of the principals days after a major news story broke. (C'mon, Paul!) Not mentioned was that all the civility boosters shown were Dems, using "civility" as their comparative advantage over Repugs, who have made incivility their brand. Yes, this papers over deeper divisions in society & is maddening to those of us who want Dems & the corporate media to simply call BS.

What slave class has ever escaped the beatings of slave masters by Civility ? And can anyone please explain that French Revolution thing to me please?

[workwillfreeyou]

The Sheriff Of Nottingham says we need civility by are surf class. Is that the same civility that robs and enslaves everyone in the planet in the name of " Freedom and Democracy " for the elite class?
