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."

[It's possible Mead never said that, but it's a good parable.]

Seems pretty uncivilized to grab women by the p***y and to rape them. And to attack the capitol to name just a couple.

The Democratic Party would prefer to tie rocks around the brightest, quickest most agile of society, so that they too can be picked off by the predators. They surmise that the weak have a better chance of survival when the predators are full. The problems is, those same strong members of society often turn and fight and occasionally they kill a predator, but now hampered, they die. The weak too now live to mate, so the genes of the group get weaker. The predators get more numerous because there are more weak to kill and the strong are still hampered and they are well fed. So eventually, the entire group gets killed. The Democrats are killing us all off. with good intentions.
