What a great idea: a Cuss Bucket! ("Time for a little gosh-darned civility," May 17).

We used to do a similar thing at home when our children were growing up, only the words they might have used were a lot milder than those inferred in Fred Rasmussen's delightful article.

Wouldn't it be wonderful (sigh) if we could get back to gentle language again?

And gentle behaviors?

And respect for one another?

We could all benefit from some "gosh-darned civility."
