    One reason that I think corporal punishment of children should be illegal in the United States: Because people like this don't know how to issue it. They think it's a license to brutalize their young. To learn 'em.

    True. But you don't see these stories coming out of Orange County too often, do you?

    Well struck.

    Of course, what race has to do with it is anyone's guess, but hey.

    No point. Probably in the wrong.

    Just venting.

    After reading these stories, I feel like giving my kids a hug.

    Good thing the doctor could make that determination.

    You need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father. Or mother.

    A 100 percent true observation.

    Your solution to this "problem" is what we're dying to hear.

    Sorry, it's been a few years since I kicked back and popped in my well-worn copy of "Parenthood."
