I well remember having to pick my own plum switch. And the consequences of picking a bad one were not pleasant. The sound of Momma running her hand down fast on the limb and stripping the leaves still makes me shiver to remember it.
But, I wholeheartedly believe I am a better person for it. I learned to respect authority. I also learned to behave correctly. Way too many of today's generation are growing up with no consequences of bad behavior IMHO.
You can disagree, but you will not dissuade me from the truth. But I'm guessing many of the members of this forum who grew up in the 50's and 60's will agree with me that the lack of discipline rears problems.
