@RichardStead I'm gutted Richard. You're my pin-up since you interviewed me in the Bier Huis in Ossett about Wakefield Morris Beercart 😁. I'm missing your show. They have lost their best DJ. All the best in your new venture. Everything happens for a reason. Onwards and upwards lovely man xx
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.

@DrHoenderkamp@Lynn06783085@RitaRobson10 This is an extension of social media culture with roots in narcissism. My oldest children are adults. I was always content to see their school reports, go to parents evening, and have them bring a drawing home. I didn't need photographic evidence. The teachers need to teach.
Thank you to Neil Oliver for an open and honest conversation. Unfortunately, this has become very rare. Many are scared to speak up, but not @thecoastguy - do give it a watch.
@RougeNoirUK Lots of "Newspeak".

@CartlandDavid Dr James, my hero. He gave me the strength to hold out to the end....until they changed their mind at the eleventh hour. Thank you Steve!
In simple terms, for every person you prevent from retiring, you maintain another person's unemployed status. Raising the retirement age locks up jobs and creates unemployment.

@jgorrell3@PauldMcNamee Lucky you! It's not all about you though is it? It's about innocent children with empty stomschs (for a myriad of reasons). Starvation should not be happening in 2023. We're not living in Victorian times. There is plenty to go around. Did your parents not teach you to share?
