hi sambo --- ive got three really good "kids" -- all boys 23 - 20 
-16 --- they have never been spanked except for a good hand swat to the 
ass when they were still in diapers and going to do something that would 
get them hurt much worse than the swat would -- like playing in an big 
south georgia or florida anthill - touching a hot wood stove or picking 
up a coral snake -- the technique has paid off tremendously ------ but i 
dont know anything about raising girls -- billp
