So what do you think of it?
I loved the dramatic reading! As for The Republic, well, it was way ahead of its time, but, quite scary in terms of some of its propositions. I liked the suggestion about organized physical education (i.e., "gym class", I suppose). Maybe our society would not be so obese if the State would mandate such for all citizens.
