"I was told this was very common and decent Haitians appreciate when a neighbor spanks their children and give the adult the benefit of the doubt."

Give the ADULT the benefit of the doubt over a CHILD? *gasp!*

Didn't you ever hear that you can't trust anyone over 30?!

No offense to those older people among us, but I will not shed a single tear when everyone who participated in the '60's counter-culture is deep in the grave. I fear that their damage is permanent, but I look at history and realize that nothing ever is. Still, it probably won't change in my kid's or grandkid's lifetime, and that makes me very sad.

We are the parents now, and at a minimum our kids will have the discipline to succeed where those around them fail.
I take it that you were not raise by "hippies"? I was not either, Navy dad and Okie mom.
