Using Victorian laws of etiquette is not a bad idea; one can immediately see why etiquette has degenerated in the common man. Such behaviour was considered a worthy goal to achieve, a sign of education and decency, a civilized person of culture; today it is seen as a sign of weakness in the male; and a patronizing sexist gesture by some females. Rather than a decent form of personal conduct, which makes casual or formal social contact pleasant.

At one time a serious breach of etiquette would mean a sword blade or pistol ball in the gut at dawn. Sometimes, violence is attributed to someone who has tolerated verbal abuse for too long, and gone beyond the realm of normal human response.

Churchill had a mastery of the cutting use of the English language. On reading his works you are immediately struck by the fact that you can pretty well call someone, the illegitimate product of a zombies wet dream, without resorting to four letter profanity, commonly used in arguments or debates today. Watching todays parliamentary debates, one is struck by the inability to utilize decent articulation on any subject.

Here, with so many decent minded and educated people on site, it is proper that we treat each other with courtesy and respect. After all, we should act locally, and think globally. There are always ladies and children present; that being so, one would hope there are gentlemen also. I have the honour to be, ladies and gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Aye. Dave
