Another of Heinlein's little rules of thumb was that any culture
where
rudeness was accepted or even expected, the norm in every day
interaction, was in steep decline.

Y'know, Heinlein was pretty darn smart and predicted many things

have computers displaying data via TV-like screens... he would have been
flabbergasted by the Internet.
