/****************************************************************
Questions about "respect".
If one meets another for the first time, should one consider the other
respectable? 
Should one treat others with respect until the others show their 
disrespectability?
Is respect assumed or earned?
****************************************************************/


I always treat the people that I meet with politeness untill
proved otherwise. I tend to think of respect as something that is
earned. Thus I sometimes treat a unrespectable person politely
while always treating a respectible person with politeness.
