We are hearing a lot these days about the lack of civility in contemporary politics.
The context is usually about the incivility in our discourse.
I would suggest that we expand the conversation in Wisconsin beyond words to an assessment of actions.
Civil or uncivil to:
* Tolerate long-standing nitrate and fecal contamination in rural drinking water?
* Restrict voting rights and ballot box access through partisan law-making?

* Mandate drug-tests on low-income Wisconsinites prior to their obtaining public assistance for which they quality, presuming their substance abuse, perhaps even with illegal drugs?
* Cut and limit food aid and other forms of assistance, and raise taxes, on some low-income Wisconsin residents.
* And, nationally, repeatedly work to throw 20-24 million Americans off their health insurance?
Civll or uncivil?
Feel free to suggest others.
