At least you didn't curse at her. ;) Sowell is also talking about education today.

If I had cursed at her, my mother would have washed my mouth out with soap. Far worse punishment. Blecchhhhh.

Nice link, SG. BTW, my nephew, the one I smacked in the behind, graduated from 6th grade this year. He got some kind of medal from President Bush. He was in the top 99 percentile for math. Of course, he's been on the honor roll since he started school. His first grade teacher had a chair called "The Pickle Chair." If you were bad, you were sent to the Pickle Chair. He never once sat on it. But, dang, he was a little shi'ite at home. I threatened to get a Pickle Chair. My youngest sis (his mom) threatened to throw him in the trash can.
