PAWHUSKA, Okla. - On this day, even a thick fog can't shroud its beauty.

It's a regal southern home in the rolling hills of northern Osage County.

"We'd rollerskate on the outside porches in the summertime and in the winter we'd go up in the attic and rollerskate," said Bob Boulanger, who grew up in the house.

Little did he know that years later another more famous family would move in -- the Weston family, from the film August: Osage County.

The troubled, fictitious family called the house home in the fall of 2012 during filming of the major Hollywood movie.

"Didn't even have a clue that they would pick this house for a movie," said Bob.

For Bob it's not a movie set, it's home.

Bob lived in the house from the time he was a baby in the late 1940s until the early 1980s.

"This was my parent's room here," said Bob, pointing at an upstairs bedroom.

In the movie it's Meryl Streep's bedroom.

Our best option, we now imagine, is to save ourselves and those like us on the basis of a lifeboat ethics that rewards ruthlessness.

from Nicolaus Mills, The Triumph of Meanness

As I read Mills book on meanness, I wonder if we really have become a mean society. Today, I helped shovel snow from two sidewalks and porches.

Then I shoveled a space at the bus stop near us so people wont have to stand in the street. It was cold; my nose was running and my fingers were moving from pain to numbness by the time I was finished.

I have seen others in Norwood do the same in their neighborhoods, and have seen people clear snow from fire hydrants and storm drains. I know of people offering to help others clear snow all over town. Surely, the above quote isnt about our one-on-one social behavior; its clear to me that a reasonable number of us are simply not mean at a personal level.

Then, I think about the occasional email I get from some acquaintance or other, wittily lambasting the unemployed, the overweight, or those needing food stamps. I remember the glib bumper stickers shouting disrespect for our elected leaders or a hatred of immigrants.

And it is not just aimed at people unlike the perpetrator. Often as not, the owner of that bumper sticker could lose a few pounds, and most of us descend from immigrant ancestors.

I do not know when cleverness became an acceptable substitute for civility, but Im embarrassed to find Ive been tolerating it without awareness.

Accusations and condemnations we aim at segments of our society usually lack reason. They intend to shock, entertain, and/or insult. Were really better than this. I know because I see it in my town on snowy days.

Perhaps we should consider not always exercising our individual right to free speech when that talk hurts or misrepresents.
