I'm rather glad there isn't a book on parenting because you know it'd be 
used against all of us.  If you didn't follow chapter 5, it'd mean were 
abusing your child or neglectful or something and they'd take your kid 
away. If you didn't follow chapter 14 to the letter, some political 
cretin would be pointing his finger at you as a fine example of 
corruption in the family.  Not everyone should be raised the same, as 
humans who are suppose to be have a big brain (not always functional but 
they never mention that), we should be able to figure it out (dance on 
the edge often).  And what works for one might not work for another.  I 
was a difficult child because I couldn't be what my parents thought I 
should be, and I was far different from my submission siblings.  I'd 
hate to have had "the book" [on parenting] thrown at me as an excuse for 
some serious mind control or alteration or something.
