"Many equate apology with admission of culpability (see Geoff's example below). And much worse is that they see no intrinsic value in apology. Sad that their parents did not teach them better. "

Hmm, you got me wondering. Have you read any of those books on how to raise children or perhaps even some of those popular self help type books? I haven't, but I would make a wild guess that some shrink has reached the conclusion that hitting children is the major cause of this.
Oh wait, I just remembered one of those guys saying something along those lines. Nevermind.
