Man gives away spanking paddles

Every idiot needs a village and this idiot’s village is Pittsburg.

According to an article in Pittsburgh Live.com, a homeschooling mother, Susan Lawrence, is spearheading efforts to stop some nutcase from giving away paddles designed to spank children. The photo attached to the article shows this lunatic wielding what appears to be a large plank of wood. Perhaps he thinks people might hurt their hands when they beat their children so they need a tool?

Apparently the idea to give away beating devices came to him while he was having his special time in the shower. According to him, that is when God speaks to him. Wow. The article states that

“Salvati, 44, who owns a home remodeling business and sends free wooden paddles to parents across the country, said he’s just doing what God asked him to do four years ago.”

In a refreshing voice of reason amidst this insanity Lawrence states that she “finds his rules “perverted.”People get that associated in their minds that love means being hit. That’s very dangerous, and that leads to all kinds of perversions,” she said. “In my way of thinking, when someone hits you, they do not love you.”

what message are spankers giving their children?

“It is perfectly OK to hit people that are too small and trusting to fight back”
“I will stop hitting you when you are big enough to hurt me back”
“I love you and its OK for me to hurt you physically, but if your boyfriend or husband hurts your physically someday you should leave him immediately”
“People show their love by hurting”
“You should only hurt the ones you love in the privacy of your own home”

As a domestic violence survivor I find this crackpot especially disturbing and I would be delighted if crazy people who respond to voices they hear during their special time in the shower would be locked up rather than written about in the newspaper.
