There is a critical piece missing from modern jurisprudence. The horsewhip!! --------------------------- Yes. You should read the passage in the book by Laura Ingalls Wilder's book Farmer's Boy where the teacher horsewhips a whole pack of trouble makers that had been breaking up the little town school and scaring off one teacher after another by beating them up. The kids would brag that they would shut the school down and their ignorant bully father wouldn't discipline them but kept sending them to school. They never had any more trouble in the school after the teacher took care of them. (Apparently the father of Laura Ingalls Wilder's future husband taught the school teacher how to effectively use the horsewhip, he was able to crack the whip to cause it to wrap it around the legs of the bully and jerk him till he fell to the ground, repeat over & over until the bully kids ran off in terror.) Bullies never caused trouble again. Nobody in the town complained or said it was child abuse or not "politically correct".
