Five minutes of watching a news program or reading a newspaper and one thing pops out about people. Americans are drunk on worry. The list of what we fear is long and varied: climate change, illegal immigrants coming over the borders, terrorist cells popping up like tares among the wheat. We worry about the rising …
“Life is not so short but that there is time for courtesy.”
