THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

What you said makes perfect sense, and is pretty much my view, too. What's more, I remember seeing a global UN study wich showed that about 80% of the world's population approves of moderate corporal punishment within the family structure.
It's just a small minority of privileged, sheltered, and out-of-touch elitists who have a draconian "zero tolerance" view on physical discipline and corporal punishment. They like to think it makes them more "enlightened" and superior to the majority of humanity, and the illusion of superiority and ego-involvement makes them get emotionally addicted to their "superior" emotional moral views. This addiction also causes them to ignore mountains of scientific research on the subject. Their views, are, of course, not superior in any real or practical sense. It's all about feeling superior. Feelings before facts.
Modern "Liberals" have become extremely hypocritical, anti-science, and anti-democratic.
