Description

I felt like being a pest, so I retorted, "Suppose I call CPS?"I was just trying to provoke Bob. He had warned me that CPS - Child Protective Services - was their local version of the super snoops we had both learned to hate and fear back in Sweden, and that the guys in our gang all vied with each other in finding new terms of opprobrium (how's that for a big word?) to describe CPS and its agents. I had always hated the Swedish social services to the depths of my being, but I had no clue that "the guys" harbored a similar visceral abhorrence for CPS. So their reaction to my little joke was a lot stronger than I had expected. Indeed, the words had no sooner passed my lips than I regretted them. Bob turned ice cold, as my bro does when he's truly upset, and said slowly, "You - wouldn't - dare!" (And, of course, he was right - I wouldn't.) All of the other guys just stared at me open-mouthed, their expressions a mixture of shock and horror. But my only concern was that I'd deeply offended Bob. I know my bro, and I'd rarely seen him so upset.I dropped on one knee in front of him (a ritual Bob and I had developed for entreating each other; we thought it was appropriate for kids living in a monarchy), bowed my head, and said, "No, Bob, I wouldn't - you know that. Forgive me."Bob's response to that surprised me even more. "Now, when I offer you the cell phone, grab it out of my hand, throw it through the window, with all your might, and scream 'This is my answer to CPS!' "Quite deliberately, Bob held up the cell phone, punched in a set of numbers, then offered it to me, and challenged, "OK, go ahead. Call them! They'll put me in jail and you in foster care - but I'll stand right here until they come and grab me. Go ahead - call them!"Of course, I had no wish to destroy either myself of my bro. So I jumped up (I'd still been kneeling), grabbed the cell phone out of Bob's hand, shouted, "This is my answer to CPS!" and sent the phone sailing through the nearest window, which shattered in a shower of fragmented glass. Then I added, "Sic semper tyrannis!"Sic Semper Tyrannis is a memoir about a time, not so long past, when men were free, religious values were taken seriously. and parents were allowed to pass on the cultural heritage to their children without governmental interference. As David Selznick remarked concerning the Antebellum South, Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind . . . This fictional account is the story of what might have been, had Christian parents possessed the courage of their convictions. It depicts the use of spanking and other types of physical correction, from the perspective of an adolescent boy. Twelve year old Billy Martin has been suddenly uprooted from the only home he knows, in liberal Stockholm, and sent to live with his eighteen year old brother, Bob, who has recently joined an ultra-conservative religious group in Idaho.Billy, a high-spirited youth, has been allowed to run at loose ends for his entire life, and has never experienced discipline of any kind. He now finds himself in a vastly different world. Bob immediately sets about bringing his kid brother into line, and giving him the "Biblical discipline" that he, and the other sect members, consider essential to proper child rearing. Billy strives to come to grips with the new reality.While the characters are wholly imaginary, the issues they confront are real, and threaten to undermine the very foundations of our civilization. This work does not contain any erotic material, but is a sobering assessment of today's child rearing practices in the United States and Western Europe.This is the second volume of a more extensive saga, which traces the course of Billy and his friends as they struggle through the years of adolescence. It should be required reading for every adolescent boy, his parents, and all those who seek to influence him.
