Paul's Quotation of the Day
" There can be no high civility without a deep morality."
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
American Philosopher, Poet, Lecturer and Essayist.
Emerson knew a thing or two about civility and morals . Unfortunately a lot of people today either do not know or do not care about civility or morality and, for those reasons, we are the worse for it as a culture.

Needless to say I have just about had my fill of Unitarian Universalists who display abysmally low civility and shamefully shallow morality.
The Emerson Avenger knows a thing or two about civility and morals too.
