The Commonwealth of Krypton Katy

"If it ain't Krypton, it's krap."

My new obsession is my country on nationstates.net. This week, I joined the UN, banned cars, legalized same-sex marriage, and instituted safety cameras in public areas. Everyday, I get one-two more issues to decide on, and they help shape my country. The description below changes daily as my policies are instituted. Check it out!

The Commonwealth of Krypton Katy is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Calico Cat population. Its compassionate population of 23 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Public Transport, although Social Equality and the Environment are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Woodchip Exports.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, euthanasia is legal, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is relatively low. Krypton Katy's national animal is the Calico Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Krypton.

Webkinz. A harmless toy or an evil Republican brainwashing scheme?

As a professional children’s entertainer, I am privy to all the latest fads and fashions of 5-12 year olds. Heeleys, Beanie Babies, pink backpacks, and more. The lastest fad (and it’s a BIG one) to catch my eye are “Webkinz”. They are stuffed toys with a code on their tag that enables children to log onto a website, care for their virtual pets, play games, and chat with other Webkinz owners.

On-line social networking for elementary school children? They should be socially-networking on the playground!

How about the fact that instead of reading, do crafts and hobbies, or spending time with family members, they are plopping themselves down in front of a computer and burning their retinas away!

The Webkinz phenomena is hindering the youth of America from developing social skills and destroying the cultural fabric of our future. Maybe an evil republican plot to steal away the identities of our children??? Quick! Help the children retain their individualism! Perhaps we also need to be concerned about subliminal advertising or social undertones about supporting the war or fearing homosexuals?! Children are sponges! Is anyone monitoring this site?

Sure, children should learn about the responsibilities that go along with owning a pet, but at what cost? I see a future of mindless former Webkinz children. Maybe they will be called, "Webdren" or "Webdrones" or "Childkinz". Millions of brainwashed sociopaths begetting millions more for the next generation.
