"Congress seems to be more dysfunctional now than it was in the 80's and 90's. But there have been worse eras, too. At least the congressmen who've been shot lately weren't shot by other congressmen in duels, for example... :-\ "

I would prefer duels or fistfights overt the current state to be honest :-). Those tend to end after a while whereas the current state can go on forever.

The era of duels had problems beyond just the duels.

Civil wars tend to end but I'd prefer the current state of affairs over a full-blown war, to be honest.
