It’ll be chicken tonight for my kids as we get ready for the second episode of “Kid Nation,” and the big battle over whether to slaughter a few of the feathered ones. Not sure if we’ll barbecue or pick up one of those pre-cooked birds from the supermarket. I am thinking that of setting their places with some big honkin’ steak knives. Just want to set the mood.

Don’t forget to vote in our poll, “Is it OK for a child to kill a chicken?”

See ya back here later, as Ann Tatko-Peterson and I give our take on the show.
