Nah ... not Bill Gates, Sbbe ... he uses his power for good! LOL
About the parents and discipline ... my dad only had to look at me over his glasses and I knew I had crossed "the" line and if I didn't immediately apologize and retreat, he would get the belt out and it would be a fast trip to the bathroom for some hands-on discipline. Same with my mom ... she had this ruler she would use on the back of my thighs for discipline. I have a lot of siblings (God bless the Catholic Church) and they feel the same way I do -- fear the rod!!!
Hmmmmm maybe all that punishment and discipline explains my submissive side ... lol
