From Civil War to Civil Rights Era Hatred

My neighborhood's spat has turned into a full-fledged imbroglio.  Our lack of civility and neighbor-by-neighbor tension made the front page of the Salt Lake Tribune today.

Now, today, a neighbor reports he received the following note:

"Barbers, Money or an addition can't buy class.  From the looks of your trashed yard, your addition wouldn't be any better.  I would like to recommend West Valley or Kearns for you and your family.  You would fit in a lot better."

Yikes. Civility is dead.
