6/28/18: Civility in Politics / Primary Races / Architectural Photographer
Jun 28, 2018
Tonight on MiWeek:
CIVILITY IN POLITICS: Is there a decline in civility in politics? In light of the immigration uproar and other hot button issues, the MiWeek team debates whether more civility is needed or whether anger and passion are necessary in order to bring about change.
ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHER: As Ford launches its massive rehab of the iconic Michigan Central Station, we take a look at other rich architectural jewels in the city as captured by photographer Jeff Morrison in this Detroit Performs segment.
Watch MiWeek every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on WTVS – Detroit Public Television.
Just got thru listening to Nolan and Stephen’s discourse on “civility”. You both gave me a HEADACHE!!!!! talking over each other, refusing to allow the other to complete their thought. Message I received from BOTH of you is that you felt you were the only right one and the other was an idiot as well as all those who felt the same way. IDIOTS, IDIOTS, IDIOTS, RUDE, RUDE, RUDE. Why were you two doing this on TV, since neither on of you wanted anyone to hear what the other one had to say…should have taken it to the back alley!!!!!!!i
Christie’s question was what is civility? Well, you two gave a perfect example of what it is not!!!! Then totally ignoring Christie when she was trying to get control and back to the question. Don’t know who either of you (Nolan & Stephen) were trying to impress or impart knowledge, since no on was “civil” enough to allow the other to complete their thought.
Miweek people,
As a longtime viewer and a first time commenter, I thought this weeks program segment about civility encapsulated the current state of political discussion in America. Are we headed for blood in the streets? Can we slowly devolve more power to the States so that people could relocate in order to have more choice with regards to the level of government help/intervention in their lives?
Remember “The Advocates” on PBS long ago? A great program!
Perhaps characterizing a statement as a “lie” might better be labeled as “not true”, since a lie implies that the person making the statement knows that it is not true.
Even as an “old-white-male” I can completely and without qualifications agree with the truth of “you’ll have to walk in my shoes” to understand another’s life. But it’s good to try your best at it.
Keep up the good work,
Ken Hellonen

Again, should have taken in into the alley!
