Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.
The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.
Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.
Be civilized.

@samstein@TheDemCoalition Says it all. Someone fainted & stole the narcissist psychopath attention whore’s spotlight. He doesn’t give AF about anyone else. He’s incapable of feeling empathy.
Money & power are his main motivations. #TrumpIsAPsychopath
Heart shattering testimony by a Romanian woman who knows exactly what Romanian Angles Ministry allegedly did, trafficking 86,000 children from poor families. Don’t let censors gaslight you with “fact checks” - this is the truth about Erika Kirk.
Please share 🕊️
Peeps💙I concur with this statement, the fact that the people who voted against their own self interests by electing a moron, is a lost cause!!
Never knew that this country had so many idiots that buys in a lie from a conman 🤦♀️ God Help Us
#DemVoice1#DemsUnited#ProudBlue
DO NOT BE DISTRACTED!!!
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
@allenanalysis Laws?
Laws are overrated. We really need a king,
A ruler with no standards - you know the kind of thing...
A man without a conscience, and with an addled brain,
The sort who taints the White House like an orange stain -
and wants to lead his country into the dark again...
🚨 BREAKING: Ronald Reagan’s daughter just blasted Donald Trump for “destroying the White House.”
When the Reagan family, the GOP’s sacred brand, starts calling out Trump by name, it’s not a feud.
It’s a fracture in the Republican soul.
Trump being upset that Canada broadcast a commercial featuring Ronald Reagan lambasting tariffs is NOT the point. It's actually understandable that Trump would be upset at that. But Trump referring to the commercial as fraudulent or AI - as if Reagan never said that - which HE DID -- THAT'S the point!! For fuck's sake, we cannot allow him to dictate false narratives that easily. How is it our media allows him to call Reagan's actual comments, in context, as fraudulent - on the air to millions - without objecting loudly, setting off an air horn, or pelting him with a tomato?
(Metaphorically.)
The United States has sent this 79-year-old man with a limited vocabulary, whose face is painted in orange pigment and hair is indescribable, overseas to Asia, ostensibly to speak to America's interests, but all he is likely to do - in incomplete and broken sentences - is talk about which wars he thinks he has ended, how stupid his predecessors were, how he incorrectly thinks tariffs work, how awesome his new ballroom will be, and perhaps rant, ramble, and riff about windmills, whales, water pressure, before suddenly segueing into more about who he hates, who he likes, and who he thinks likes him.
Also, Tim Mellon's father is Paul Mellon. He is in the Epstein flight logs, listed with two unidentified females. So, there's that too. If only MAGA was even the slightest bit genuine in their wanting to expose the pedophilic elite, and who the deep state really is.
