That's right. The inverse square law applies between point charges or from a magnetic monopole to compute the  electric or magnetic influence, but in the real world where you are dealing with dipoles .  .  .  .  .  . https://www.google.com/search?q=inverse+cube+law&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=&gws_rd=ssl

This post has received Santa Claus's Seal of Approval. Did you know that Roland and Santa co-authored a book on parenting?    Here is the link Dear Roland, My name is Sean. My mom is bossy and orders me around. When she orders me to do something, she says it in such a mean way that it makes me angry and tempts me to want to do the opposite of what she says.   I feel like a slave, which also makes me angry.   I don’t want to disobey my mom, but even though I don’t want to—that’s what I feel. Same with my dad. Sometimes he seems angry and I don’t feel like doing what he says. Do you have any advice for me?    Parents: Before you read my response to Sean, let me provide a little background. It might help you remember what it felt like to be a kid with someone giving you a really hard time. Remembering how you felt might awaken understanding.        Kids naturally want to obey their parents. Where many parents ge...

Stop the violence. This is the 21st Century. I am a pastor and I oppose the hitting of children. Period. ESPN Analyst Cris Carter on the alleged Adrian Peterson child abuse. Thank you, Mr. Carter, for defending women and children against violence and abuse. This man I respect.

"Should parents spank their kids? " Absolutely not," says Roland Trujillo, pastor, lecturer, and author of 17 books. "It is totally unnecessary."   "For 25 plus years I have advocated against spanking. What does spanking accomplish? It introduces the child to fear, to trauma, and often to rage. It turns some children into fearful conformists, and others into rebels because of their hatred of the parent who used violence on them.  Spanking is often a euphemism for something much worse. Inflicting harm on an innocent defenseless child is despicable. It is bullying--the evidence of a tyrant, a large person hurting a small person. It is evidence of lack of patience, kindness, gentleness, self control, forbearance, and wisdom. It is a massive betrayal.  Here are two things that need to be stated. Child abuse is a little known contributing factor to violence against women. The male child who is beaten, slapped, spanked, yelled at, teased, or verbally...

F our year olds don't need discipline, they need direction and redirection. They need watching with love, kindness, and patience. I'm going to tell you the truth. Time outs or spanking are usually substitutes for patience and wisdom. Often after we have become resentful, our patience runs out. Then we feel frustration. If we are not yelling (or worse), we look for some way to force the child to comply. Usually it for our own benefit, that way we can go back to watching television or whatever else we want to do. . We might even resort to a canned, cleverly marketed Orwellian behavior modification program to sugar coat forced compliance. Then there is always the specter of psychotropic meds. .

I told her that I was writing a book about parenting. . "W...
