While it might make me happy to some degree, I would lose out on seeing your lovely face during the day. I'm not sure I could bear such a loss.
And there are students that are genuinely interested in what I teach, and plan to pursue careers that would do much to hopefully help those suffering in war torn areas, particularly Africa.
Yet, I know that my scientific contributions might help us here in the OC when strange things occur. And already I know Stark is interested in what I have to offer.
I would not, however, cease my travels to D.C. to speak on behalf of the Congo, and others who are suffering from genocide and religious persecution in Africa. I will always be a voice for them.
