Kid Nation

My kids, Seth and Mallory, are hooked on the new tv show, Kid Nation. It is a reality show where 40 kids have been placed in an abandoned old west town and are left to make something of it. There are the usual competitions and drama each week. Last night the discussions focused on religions and how they should be acknowledged. It was fascinating to see the kids try to sort this out. Finally one kid shouts, "This is how wars are started People!" Wow! The town council also gets to award a $20,000 gold star to a kid each week. It has been going to the person who has worked the hardest, but this week it went to the girl who brought peace between the religions.
