Amy Alkon On "I See Rude People" On Canada's The Agenda With Steve Paikin
About the show, which is pretty much the "Charlie Rose" of Canada, and which I appeared on over Skype from California:

We've all had run-ins with the occasional rude person - someone refuses to give their seat to a pregnant woman on a subway car; a biker knocks over a pedestrian on the sidewalk. But is it etiquette that's changed, or are we just ruder than we've ever been?

I loved Dr. Vivian Rakoff, the elegant (male) Canadian psychiatrist with the white goatee. He is so well-read, if the Internet ever goes down, we can hire him to sit at a glass desk and answer all the questions about literature, philosophy, and history that people would previously have Googled.

And speaking of books, if you haven't bought a copy of my book, I See Rude People: One Woman's Battle To Beat Some Manners Into Impolite Society, I hope you'll consider it. It's only $11.32, brand new, with Amazon's discount at the link above. (New copies or Kindle books go against my advance, and help me keep writing...and eating, and help fund my answering questions that will never make my column.)
