And it would probably a nicer world if my job didn't exist. ( Didn't have to exist, but then it would be a nicer world if a lot of things weren't needed - military responses, spies. If things were safer a lot would be redundant. Science became as messy as biology ) You said you had a school. How long has it been running?
