Manners *are* important.

And after all, isn't this what this thread is all about? Not rights versus priviledges, but manners and etiquette. One can disregard both, but then one ends up being a candidate for the next Jerry Springer or Montel show, or a guest appearance on Trailer Park Boys...

Observance of manners provides for civility, and we all want to live in a civil society.
