to start my day by getting pissed off, but here I go.
From WorldNetDaily.Com:
Democrats on a legislative committee in California have advanced a plan that would make criminals of any parent who uses "a stick, a rod, [or] a switch" to discipline their misbehaving child, and parents rights' organizations are up in arms.
When I was a kid, it was a standing house rule that we chillens' weren't supposed to play in the street. Our street also doubled as a quarter-mile dragstrip, so for obvious reasons our parental untis didn't want to find Wonk #1, 2 & 3 as little grease stains in the street.
Needless to say, dad caught all three of us out there, right smack dab in the middle of the road. And to quote a famous Bill Cosby anecdote, "Let the beatings begin!!!"
We never played in the street again and my father never laid a hand of me for the rest of my life. From that day on I was living in the fear of God. . .and Dad. . .and his belt.
"This was a bad day for parental rights in California," said Karen England, of Capitol Resource Institute.
Indeed it is.
