My Own Private Kentucky
The musings, diatribes and outtakes from my life in Louisville, KY and Redwood City, CA. This is my third attempt at blogging; an attempt to keep in touch with friends around the world and a showcase for my burgeoning photographic skills. I take thousands of photos and show 10% of them. Like any treasure hunt, you search through tons of dirt before you find a jewel- tell me when you find one. And yes, that is Louisville above; a city of uniqueness in both architecture and persons.

Kid Nation


I finally succumbed to watching Kid Nation in which a group of kids are charged with running their own town in the west. First off, before we judge a group of kids, can't we first judge the adults? Show me a town where the adults do it right. Second, there is a young lady who has an attitude problem. She doesn't like to help out. She likes to bitch.

The other kids gang up on her and try to make here feel like shit verbally abusing and physically abusing her. Of course, the adults watching over the children think that this is appropriate behavior. Children should grow up immediately after falling out of their mothers- a lesson all should learn. Children should gang up on those that do not fit in.

Where has television gone when the best way to get ratings is to ridicule a young child- not young woman- young child. The child is a product of her environment; wouldn't a better solution be ridiculing her parents for their lack of skills.

Next, they give children the choice between a new arcade or new books. Guess what they choose; though a few said books would be better. Of course, the town fell apart since all the kids wanted to play and gamble instead of work. What would happen if adults were given the same choice? I really do not think it would be any different.

Again, Children are products of their environment. They mimic us. Don't expect otherwise.
