"Kid Nation"

Well, the title explains it. I just watched the first part of "Kid Nation" and it seemed interesting. On the first night there at the town, the kids already started to argue a lot. The town leaders are ok, but they don't seem to get that much respect from the others and I think it's becuase they aren't the oldest ones.
I also saw on the previews that they actually do have to do everything by themselves and that means killing the sheep and chicken for meat. I'm not sure yet if they're actually going to do it, but it'll be interesting.
I thought it was cool how one of the teams get to run a store. They sold candies and soda for only 5 cents (I liked the price!).
O yea, one of the kids already won a gold star, awarded by the leaders, for working the hardest. They most suprising part was that it was actual gold! $20,000!!!

OMGosh!

I SOOOO want to watch that show. If I was within the age limit, I would certainly apply.

There's a controvery over like child safety and child safety laws. Lord of the Filesque. Blah, blah, how far will people go for entertaining by exploiting elementary school children?

But I believe that the kids have truly rised up to the challenge and accomplished things that the adults couldn't do. To me, this show seems not as a silly entertainment value, but a demonstration of America's potential leadership and capabilities....as long as the FREAKIN ADULTS don't get in the way.

jk about the freakin adults.

But yea, from what I've seen from the trailers, there's a lot of growth, exposure, and lessons learned.

And who doesn't want a gold star? I think it's a full ride scholarship when they get to college age.
