Does she really HAVE to draw you a picture? She did say "individual"
did she not? Not that I'm against spanking childrend...but I just
bet you are, aren't you, Comrade? Keep on toeing that Party line, at
least you're consistant! I was just looking in my Bible the other day
and actually it says that if you spare the rod you *hate* your
child...By that token, it would seem spanking should be *mandatory*
but then *I* would be guilty of legislating morality, just as you are
so bent on doing. 
OTOH, if you meant (say what you mean!) assaulting or abusing a
child, naturally none of us is in favor of that anymore then we are
concerning *any* human being. The point is that ADULTS should have
the right to make their own decisions. You nor any of your liberal
pals are my parents. I've already been raised, anything your buds do
from this point on is to make money, pure and simple. If you haven't
figured that simple fact out, you must be a WONDERFUL asset to your
cause. So I'm curious, which are you, anyway?  Stupid, greedy, or
just a blasted busybody?
