It was really fun. It was neat to see how he interacted with the students and brought out in them a different opinion of what they had when they first came in, how they learned something from the discussion. And it was fun. And in particular, one of the questions one of the girls asked, with all the interests in merrimans rights, what about the gross treason of the whole situation .
