dr. evans? >> well, you know, she's pointing out an interesting fact, you know, that i think as a country we have lost the art of debate. right? so one of the things that contributes to the incivility i believe is that we haven't had -- we don't have the skills as a country to debate very controversial issues from a dispassionate standpoint. if you look at the models that we have, the role models that we have on television, people tend to devolve into attacks, attacking the person as opposed to attacking the argument. i'm not saying that about rachel but as a whole that's a way a lot of our political debate goes. because we don't have that skill of talking about controversial difficult issues in a dispassionate way, we end up attacking each other and that's something that's a skill and something i think we can change. >> dr. evans is the ceo of psychological association. you can check out some of the results we talked about this morning. thank you for your time. thank you. >> we're live in flori
