We, the undersigned, totally recognise the need for individuals to show respect for their community and the general public.

However, as things stand, we feel we must add following condition to your recent 'respect in society' proposal(s):

You first.

(We are fed up with draconian laws, detention without trial, rendition, torture, murder, and other forms of anti-social behaviour that are undermining our society. And, if you'll excuse us for saying so, we also feel rather insulted that someone with your track record should wish to lecture us on the matter of 'respect'.)
