Thanks for your open-minded responses. I realize I'm being a bit of an antagonist on this issue, and since we don't know each other from Adam I shouldn't be judging you as officials from a thousand miles away. Maybe players and coaches abuse TO lengths where you are. Also, JRut - I always appreciate your point of view on here; I envision you as a grizzled vet. I think all parents should take the responsibility of disciplining their children in a loving way, and that very well may include spanking and/or Timeouts!!! You're right, there has been a steady decline in respect for authority. Good debate, have a great day.
