"PS-- Personal responsibility is not the exclusive province of people who define a partisan slur as "the truth". I have swatted children when warranted."
Hmm... Unfortunately, or fortunately, I agree with most of the article except for the part about spanking. I have never spanked my children. I've patted their hands when they patted their siblings, but that's about it. Thank goodness they've only known about love and respect and to ignore the rest.
