treated like an abuser and prosecuted because they choose to physically discipline their child has become to great. My kids got spanked when it was called for, and it could never have been called abuse by any stretch of the imagination. They have grown up to be great kids, and we continue to receive compliments on our upbringing. I hate to see the ineffectual parents at the store, where a kid is throwing a screaming tantrum, and the mother saying, now honey, that's not nice. Or no, we don't do that. Wouldn't hurt those out of control little brats to get a pop on the butt every once in a while. Strikes me that quite a few repuglicans would have benefited from some corporal punishment.
