16. is yelling next?
we gotta restrain ourselves from trying to control people due to our personal values. It's what I HATE about the Christian Taliban here now. And trust me, righties really HATE us telling them what they can't do. The NRA is doing quite nicely from it and is a tool of the rightists.

I just say we should choose our battles. Live and let live. Abuse must be prosecuted, spanking not. The pain from spanking is not unnecessary, it's intended to modify dangerous behavior. You can debate it's effectiveness as far as I'm concerned. But we can't be seen as whackos in the rightwing medias eyes. They'd love this as an issue.
