Civility in Debating Politics

I received this very interesting and poignant article in my email today. As I do not know what laws govern publishing someone else's article, I'll simply post the link here.

*Don't forget to come back and comment. ;)

Thanks, Jerms.

Another important approach to all communication comes from psychology and conflict resolution: Only use "I" language and not "you" language, as in "I think or believe this or that because of these reasons or facts," not "You are an idiot for not agreeing with me."

As long as people allow the mud slinging to continue, it surely will.

Oh for the days of Teddy Roosevelt.

I enjoyed reading the article. It should be sent to all public figures during these trying times. However, the article contains strategies for any form of conflict resolution.
