In a civilized society, here are the most basic civic duties expected of each and every citizen, ill or not.

1) Respect and protect life: your own and others.

2) Be Honest or nothing else matters.

3) Be a clean, healthy, safe person to be around.

4) Do no harm to others, especially those who are smaller, weaker and younger.

5) Make others feel safe, respected and comfortable.

6) Maintain composure when displeased.

7) Do not yell at others, especially family members.

8) Know how to protect yourself, your family, your property, your community, and your country.

9) If it is not yours, ask permission to use it. 

10) If you break it, fix it or pay someone to fix it for you.

11) Keep your word.

12) Do not enter private property until you have been invited.

13) Thank people for favors, gifts and hospitality.

14) Obey the laws and change the ones that are not fair to all our citizens.

15) Know the US Constitution and protect it.  This is our Rule of Law which guarantees the same rights equally

to all our citizens and allows us to protect ourselves from oppressive governments including our own.

16) If you can help, and it takes less than 60 seconds, do it.  Example, if someone is struggling to open a door,

help them (either open it or hold it for them).

17) Social Graces are our common bonds.  Good Manners are flexible and reasonable.  If someone is using good manners

to intimidate you, they are using them wrong.  Good Manners have nothing to do with how much money you have or do not have.

18) Good Manners make life easier for yourself by putting a check on your own bad behavior.

19) Laws authorize the Police to remove harmful people from civilized society, so we don’t have to. The Police cannot do

anything until a crime has been committed; however, We The People are always there before the authorities arrive because

we do not live in a Police state. We are free, independent people and we want to stay that way. We The People are the eyes,

the ears and the backbone of our free country.

20) Nothing is free; someone pays for it. Be appreciative.

21) Honorable, civilized, law-abiding citizens do not commit crimes even when the opportunity presents itself!

22) Good Manners create confidence, good self-esteem, common sense, and the ability to make good decisions on your own.

23) Good Manners = Good Decisions

24) May you always be treated with the same respect you show others. There is no requirement to "like" someone

in order to show them respect. It is called civilized behavior.
