Re: George's Gems/Rudeness

[Stewart, Farber]

Radsafers:

A thought on this thread since Michael Stabin had written that: "some recent 

posts have been a bit acerbic".



This isn't from George Washington on rules of civility [but rather from Eric 

Hoffer, a former longshoreman, best selling American author, and social 

philosopher of a few decades ago] who no doubt could have traded rude epithets 

with the best of them. 



"Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength."



-  Eric Hoffer
