Next message: Stan Gardner: "Re: lv-ab: rudeness"
Judging by the comments so far I think those people missed the essential point of the article - if
they bothered to read it at all.
The CNN story dealt with people's perception of social manners and how we deal with each
other. The concensus being that as a society we seem to have less and less regard for our
fellow human beings and are increasingly selfish and self centered in our activity.
Having money doesn't automatically entitle that person to any special rights over others.
That concept died with the feudal system.
Please note that the website was addressed as http://europe.cnn.com
It may come as a shock to many Americans but the rest of the world does not necesarily view
them in the same light as they view themselves.
