I had a conversation with my brother over breakfast this morning about the loss of civility when it comes to political discourse these days. It has saddened me to see that many of us are swayed more the talking heads spouting sound bites for increased television ratings, than by actually sitting across from someone who might think differently than you and with civility, dialoguing. This lack of civility has further entrenched those sitting on either side of this polarized political culture.
Interestingly enough, I came across this interview with Michael Sandel, a professor of Ethics at Harvard. Very interesting and insightful...take a look.
