Out of Order: Civility in Politics
American citizens have increasingly expressed discontent with national politics and many feel that the government is riddled with too much gridlock and partisan gamesmanship. Is the art of debate and compromise lost on contemporary politics in the United States? Is it possible to restore civility to Congress, and should we try? Was civility ever as dominant as current characterizations often suggest? Out of Order tackles this subject that is crucial to our country's futures.
