<p>Never Punish Children.</p>

<p>Okay, almost everyone will immediately know how he or she stands on this issue, and will have negative opinions about me.  I am hoping however that there
will be a few of you who will consider the possibility that this thesis is indeed correct, and that we should move toward a new way of rearing children than

			<description><![CDATA[ Since Plato wrote The Republic in 380 BC, humans have sought to define the perfect place on earth-judicially, socially, politically, economically and
frequently architecturally. Sir Thomas Moore in 1516, first popularized the word utopia defined as meaning a better place in his socio-political satire about a
perfect place on a made-up island called `Utopia.&#39; Maureen Thomas in her essay in Impossible Worlds, &quot;Utopia/Dystopia,&quot; reminds us that,

I will tell you one thing: Yesterday, California removed one of the &quot;hindrances&quot; or &quot;obstacles&quot; on the road to utopia by overturning the
ban on same-sex marriages.  By the California Supreme Court removing that obstacle and allowing gays and lesbians to marry their lovers, we as a society and as
a nation finally came out of the long, dark tunnel of discrimination into the light of enlightenment, tolerance and anti-discrimination.

California, and the country... ]]></description>
