[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1341341, member: 796"] Anthropologists use the way a society treats the helpless and infirm as a measure of the civilization. [B]It's sad and shameful that Americans are getting more and more "get out of my way or I'll kill you."[/B] Taking extra care and courtesy for elderly widows used to be a matter of pride for all real men. [B]And for the men that think they are always going to be strong and in charge, go spend a couple years visiting infirm relatives and watch them waste away before your eyes [/B]like I have done: two distinguished combat vets eaten away by disease that does not respect person or circumstance. Next time you see somebody that can barely make it across the sidewalk or through the grocery line, thank God you are still strong enough to give them a little extra time and space, or even a helping hand if they need it.
