I saw a program from England where they let some ten (I think) 11-13
year olds live in a house for a weekend while they filmed what they did.
They were themselves in charge of cooking etc. They totally trashed the
place. Not one piece of furniture or toy was intact after.

And the role Christianity plays in all of this as well. 

Funny I just saw a program from Frontline about the current
administration and the behind the scenes concerning Iraq. On one side
you have Rumsfeld (conservative, hauke according to the program) and
Powell (pragmatist, ditto) on the other.
