A 1930's poster showing how civilised people should and shouldn't dress.

I'm pretty sure that it is medically better for you to carry heavy loads on top of your head (putting the weight directly on your spine) than to carry the same weight on a bar across one shoulder (putting the weight on the collar bone, perpendicular to the spine). Apparently "civilized" doesn't mean healthier. And in the second picture there is one less person. What did they do to the other woman??

The kid looks to have got the best deal. He gets to keep his hair, clothes and a book, so presumably an education too. ------------- Light blue touch paper and stand well back http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk - http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk - http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk |

It looks it is just an add more of publicity, creating the necesity in people to consume.
Today it is the same. Perhaps the term is not "civilized" anymore but "refined" "stylish" "with class" and many others that are equivalent.
We should ban publicity as an action against human rights ..... ------------- |

I don't know, Paul. They both look uncivilized to me. If you ask me, civilized people should dress like this...
