... have my respect for what they have to do, just like parents today. Back when I was a kid, if I spoke back to my father or mother, I would not be able to sit down for an hour or so due to the severe pain I had in my back side. Same at school... if there was someone that the teacher had trouble with, they would be sent to see the principle and he would either break out the "meat grinder" paddle and let you have it, or would call your parents (or both) and when you got home it was also time for a follow up corrective action. Since we have become the land of the offended now days... children can't be punished and so they run rampant. Not all are problems I agree, but those that are a problem can't be dealt with in any form of capitol punishment.
