Conservative columnist Jeff Lukens created a political camp in Tampa, Fla., which aligns itself closer to "tea party" values. One of the games described by the St. Petersburg Times would surely make presidential hopeful Ron Paul smile.

"Children will win hard, wrapped candies to use as currency for a store, symbolizing the gold standard. On the second day, the 'banker' will issue paper money instead. Over time, students will realize their paper money buys less and less, while the candies retain their value," the newspaper explained.

That's cool, I would love to learn more about this. My wife and I volunteered in a Biztown with my son's class once. It was a cool experience. Really inspiring these kids are learning about sound money.

I was the bookkeeper for the bank in our version of what I assume "biztown" is.

SO WAS I!!!! Oh, 3rd grade, how I miss you.

We called it mini-society though.
