No, they handled the matter like grown ups. (JK) My point perhaps not clearly made is that political discourse in the country has a history of being unruly.

Naturally- as politics deals with the nature and egos of man. But we’re also supposed to be a civilized people. Politicians don’t draw pistols at dawn any more. I do realize that politics has always been a dirty affair, but surely these last few years have not been stellar examples of cooler heads prevailing. It’s sadly those with cooler heads that tend to get demonized for suggesting such things as calming down and being reasonable. You know it’s bad when reasonableness is viewed as a liability.
