Episode description

Are Bow-Ties pretentious? Who is the least civil person on Twitter? What is the hippo scale? Fungus or dry skin?  

I talk about all of the above, and then basically explain that I told you so--that the death of civility has caused a good chunk of our problems, and that the solution is to live back up to the principles that we always knew we should.  

In particular: 

1) Accountability is a must. Personal responsibility is the old-conservative way. 

2) Basic kindness is still the best antidote. 

3) We must actively truth-tell, and never believe our own deceptions.  Also, don't disagree less, disagree better.
