Kid Nation

Twelve year olds acting like thirty somethings. Thats all I can make of it having only caught eighteen minutes of it, I get the feeling that even if I watched the whole season, I still wouldn't believe a second of it.

I've seen a couple of parts of it. I don't care for reality shows.

I saw the part where 4 kids found a treasure and instead of giving each of all the children their share to do with what they wished, they decided that since most of the kids would "waste" their money on candy, they should buy larger expensive items that they could use as a group. It didn't seem realistic because they found like a hundred nickels or something and yet were able to afford guitars and outdoor game equipment.

While it seemed magnanimous on the surface, it also seemed controlling and socialistic.
