A couple of quotes from the article:

BOSTON -- Should parents be allowed to spank their children? Massachusetts lawmakers will be debating that question following the filing of a bill that would ban corporal punishment in the commonwealth...

...But now, lawmakers are considering making "the willfull infliction of physical pain on children under 18," illegal....

I was spanked a few times as a kid, and I can't remember a single instance where it was undeserved or too harsh, and I think learning that improper behavior has negative consequences early in life made me a better adult. As a single guy with no children, some people will probably tell me to shut up 'cause I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about, but I gotta say, I think if this passes MA parents will raise a generation of spoiled brats who never learned right from wrong.

Edit: Oops. I guess you might want to read the whole thing for yourselves. Here you go...
