Brand spanking new study about spanking

Researchers in Michigan have found that kids who are spanked up to the age of six are more likely to become happy, successful adults than kids who were never spanked. I don't know if I was spanked or not, but I was certainly swatted a few times and it had a great impact on my behavior. But these six words my mom would often utter made me straighten up faster than any swat on the rear. "Wait until your dad comes home." Just the threat of being spanked worked wonders.

So does spanking work? Can it really make for a more successful, happy life? You make the call.
