Prior to Benjamin Spock, the US was inundated with violent, feral children? And since the idea that spanking is bad took hold, we have progressed into a happy society where all children are polite and well-behaved -- because they have never been spanked?

Is this the storyline we're going with?

"...Is this the storyline we're going with?"

LOL...I presume that was a rhetorical question...:)

Well put, by the way.

Towards the end of his life, Dr. Spock stated that he was wrong. As soon as I find the time, I’ll try to find the quote.

It’s the same mentality to make liberals think that the US is the only reason for conflict in the world. (Can’t we all get along?)
And the the US disarming itself would fix everything.

Great reply.

Low IQ reporters and social scientists with an agenda want us to believe their studies show a causal relationship, i.e., spanking causes aggression. Their studies show no such thing.
