One of the tiny slivers of civility remaining in American politics is leaving with U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad's retirement from the U.S. House.
He was an extraordinary example of public restraint and personal responsibility when it came to partisan matters.
Sadly, there are very few similar gentle people in the public arena today and Ramstad's departure is truly a loss for those of us longing for common decency in a world of public policy overrun with verbal thugs.
