I still say it. A lot of the changes in etiquette have to do with the way people are brought up. I lived back east for 4 years and the polite meter dropped drastically there. But there were those who were kind and considerate like I am used to. In Montana it is a little less formal than when I was a kid but we still expect manners so people still abide by them for the most part.

Montana is no longer a bastion of good manners. A lot of aggressive drivers, jockying for parking spaces, and people race to get in check-out lines ahed of me even when I am in my wheel chair and they can plainly see where I'm headed. Many will not return a greeting, or just grunt. My " Excuse me's " are frequently met with dirty looks. The people that ARE kind, are exceptionally kind, but courtesy and good manners are dying a slow, lingering death in many places.
