Children Against Spanking

Yet another worthless study:

A national survey of children's views on physical punishment, funded by Save the Children, is being done as the welfare organisation pushes to get smacking banned.

Save the Children chief executive John Bowis said preliminary results showed children opposed physical punishment and believed it often did not provide the results adults expected.

In other news, Saddam's family thinks toppling his regime was a bad thing, as do the Taliban. Criminals in jail also reportedly believe imprisonment is "non-productive."

And the luntics have taken over the asylum.

Update: On the other hand, sometimes common sense does prevail:

Fathers and children won a major victory in the California Legislature today when Senate President John Burton pulled a bill that would have made it easier for mothers to harm children and fathers by moving far away after divorce courts have granted custody to the mothers, as they usually do.
