I think the reason we got rid of the cane was that we found that we could do without it: most teachers can deal with most discipline problems without corporal punishment. The reason we haven’t got rid of our killing weapons is that no-one has yet thought up a way of managing without war. I’m a bit of an old hippy and I agree that we should get rid of all our killing machines. But then I also think we should get rid of the cane (except between consenting adults, of course.)
