Mark Thackeray: What we saw yesterday is that to a considerable extent, we control how we are perceived. "Yo!" gets you one response; "Excuse me, sir," another. When we address someone with respect, we are more often than likely to GET respect--not always, but more often than you think, and if you're smart, that ought to be enough. Common courtesy--"please", "thank you", "excuse me"... magical words, magical words
