Why am I getting the feeling that there are no limits at all here?
Why do you have such an unhealthy fascination for how others raise their children? I have enough trouble running MY own life without telling people what to do. I know of no one who is such a paragon of perfection that their views may be used as a benchmark by which all child rearing may be judged. I do not yet have children. However, I am absolutely certain that in half the societies on earth I'd be considered someone dangerous to children. Why? I'm a political "nutcase". I don't believe in the state controlled version of the institution of marriage (although I believe in permanent committed monogamous relationships) and thus refuse for political reasons to marry. I believe in open access to information for children and a far more liberal view of the rights of children than most people have. I suspect that when I become a parent, any law that could be used to "cure" the children of fundamentalist christians, Amish, etc, would be applied to mine right off the bat -- after all, I'm a dangerous man. Live and let live, I say. I don't want others judging my child rearing, and I have little or no desire to judge theirs. Leave them be unless their idea of discipline for children involves The Rack or The Firing Squad. Perry
