Kid Nation : Are Kids a Threat to Our Country?

Having a kid nation is a crazy idea. If kids ruled their own country, it could be really bad. That's why we don't allow them to vote. We can't let them hold a public office, either. They would probably change our national anthem to something written by Barney. Then, at the beginning of every football game, we would be listening to, "I love you, you love me! We're a happy family, with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love me too!"

I know, it is a very frightening thought to think of what could happen to our great nation if kids took over. That is why I am opposed to the new CBS series, Kid Nation. It may give children the wrong impression. Before you know it, we will have 10-13 year olds taking over third world countries, and the United States would be next!

Kid Nation on CBS shows how a bunch of kids take over a town in New Mexico. As a concerned citizen of these United States I feel it is my patriotic duty to boycott this crazy show. Some of you liberals out there are probably saying to yourself, "Kid Nation is absolutely harmless it is just a series about forty kids creating their own society." Any red-blooded American will be able to tell you that seemingly innocent shows like Kid Nation can lead to the harder stuff. Today we allow Kid Nation, and what will it be tomorrow? Next thing you know, we will have a 10 year old kid in the White House throwing a temper tantrum because someone looked at him funny.

If kids ruled our nation, our way of life would change forever. Broccoli would be outlawed in our great country. Sure you could always get broccoli on the black market, but you better hope those kids don't catch you. Any broccoli violations would probably result in time out punishment where you have to sit facing the wall. Most important political matters would be handled by rock, paper scissors. Sadly, this would mean no more political lobbyist and lengthy hearings. If the kid nation gets in an argument with another nation they would probably forget about it by the next day and everyone would go outside and play ball. In meetings with the United Nations they would giggle uncontrollably, pass notes and give the cooties to other nations.

I know it is a frightening picture of what could happen if kid nation takes over, but someone has to speak up. They have already taken over a town in New Mexico, why not your town? I would advice everyone to lock all your doors, turn on Fox news for the latest updates and be certain to report all suspicious kid activity.
