Civility Irony Revealed

In his January 6 post, George Will’s business advice, GK quotes from the article Chief among the silliness by George Will (surprisingly, an article with some merit):

Civilization depends on, and civility often requires, the willingness to say, “What you are doing is none of my business” and “What I am doing is none of your business.”

A good lesson for us all as we fight the War on Culture. Sadly, for some people, this civility only applies when “what you are doing” is in line with “my belief system.”
