"40 Children, 40 Days, No Adults. Can they do it? Can they build a better world than grown-ups?"
This is the promotional tagline for a controversial new reality show on CBS called "Kid Nation," where forty kids aged 8-15 are left to fend for themselves in a New Mexico ghost town, frontier-style. And there's no parental supervision whatsoever. Sure, it all sounds like good times, but its definitely not your average slumber party. Charged with the task of building a new society from the ground-up, the kids elect representatives, attend townhall meetings, and even run their own saloon.
