Do You Deserve A Smack In The Face?

Maybe you deserve a punch.
It could be you deserve to be verbally threatened.
Perhaps you deserve to be slapped upside the head.
Do you deserve for someone bigger and stronger to block you path?
Do you need someone more physically powerful than you to scream and shout at you?
If you need or deserve things like these I've mentioned, go to your dad. Let him do it.
Maybe he will be careful.
Say,' Dad- I need to be sucker punched. Could you help me out?
You wouldn't want a stranger to do it, you know?
Don't get involved in all that in Michigan though.
Debbie Stabenow, when she was in the state senate here, lead the way to  made it illegal to physically
intimidate anyone, especially in a domestic situation.
I don't believe any grown-up would want their dad to attack them.
Why? Just because you don't sleep with your dad?
I don't think a decent dad would take you up on your request, whether you are a man or a woman.
No one will force you to strike someone, or to excuse a person who is violent. Those are your
decisions. But society has a right to weigh in on all violence.
Provoked violence is no more righteous than unprovoked violence except in the life of the mind.
The public cannot litigate the life of a mind. We surely do have a right to litigate physical violence.
A woman here in Michigan screamed daily at the county prosecutors and the news media for not
releasing her sweetheart she 'loved with all her being'.
The man knocked her down with his truck, and backed over her body with it.
She suffered all kinds of bodily harm, and the baby in its eighth month of her pregnancy lost its life.
We the public, were sorry she felt so angry and abused by us. We were not the least bit angry her
'sweetie' got jury sentences putting him under the jail!
When you do get a slap or knock or punch- go somewhere private and quiet if you must.
As a civilized society, we have every right to ask people to behave in a civilized way. We don't do enough of that as it is.
People who may need a violent rebuke from a loved one, people who must administer a violent rebuke to a loved one, are people who have no enforceable rights to privacy.
People have many reasons to want to live in the dark.
Some of those reasons prove completely indefensible.
