Just saw CNN’s interview with Will and his Dad, real glad the mainstream media picked up on this.  What was interesting to me was that John Roberts, the CNN host, couldn’t help laughing in response to a couple of Will’s very mature comments.  It’s understandable in a sense - our society largely separates young people and adults such that cross-generational discussions about serious issues are few and far between.  Yet young people do have insightful things to say, as Will so excellently demonstrates.
