CA bill to ban spanking

We have some really incompetent politicos in CA.

No-spank bill on way

Guess the sex of the bill's author. Mommy state indeed.

``Why do we allow parents to hit a little child and not someone their own size?'' asked Nazario, a professor at the University of San Francisco Law School. ``Everyone in the state is protected from physical violence, so where do you draw the line? To take a child and spank his little butt until he starts crying, some people would define that as physical violence.''
Unbelievable. This guy teaches at a law school and doesn't know the difference between an unjust act (battery) and discipline/punishment?
But Lieber is optimistic that lawmakers will find her proposal hard to resist. For the record, she does not have children and says she was not slapped as a child. But she does have a cat named Snoop, which her veterinarian told her never to hit.

``And if you never hit a cat,'' Lieber said, ``you should never hit a kid.''

You don't hit a mature cat because a cat might fight back. Unless you enjoy having a cat claw at your face and eyes. Making leaps without reasoning. How did she get elected in the first place? Oh right, because we have an unjust political system.
