Sometimes We Do Things A Certain Way Just Because That Is The Way We Do Things.

Whamming Someone Smaller Than Oneself In Order To Teach That Person Civilized Behavior Is Not Within Miss Manners' Concept Of Propriety, Much Less Logic.

We Are All Born Rude. No Infant Has Ever Appeared Yet With The Grace To Understand How Inconsiderate It Is To Disturb Others In The Middle Of The Night.

The Challenge Of Manners Is Not So Much To Be Nice To Someone Whose Favor And/or Person You Covet (although More People Need To Be Reminded Of That Necessity Than One Would Suppose) As To Be Exposed To The Bad Manners Of Others Without Imitating Them.
