The best pro-spanking apologetic CPR has seen.
Excellent page for clinical studies and reviews on spanking. Contains numerous debunks of the "all spanking is abuse" model used by most states' Children's Services.
The American Psychological Association - This association just seesawed over spanking. After years of truly Euro-Leftist junk-science hogwash, they published this, and pulled the earlier material from their website. This is GOOD NEWS for parents who spank, because it opens the door for legitimate research on differences between spanking and child abuse..

The Washington Post offers a number of excellent articles in the system's war against spanking. Unfortunately for you, dear reader, the Post charges an access fee for them: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/archives
