BTW, the Shakespeare quote was mostly tongue-in-cheek. I didn't put a wink in there to acknowledge that. I wasn't trying to be an a$$ (well, mostly not )

If you take a job, take it seriously. Most campus cops don't expect a Columbine or a Virginia Tech, but it will happen again and if it does they should be thinking, "Not on my watch."

Let's look at another stat - there hasn't been a death in the USA in a school by fire in the last quarter of a century, yet should be not take fire hazards seriously? Should teachers not take fire drills seriously? Should custodians not take checking fire equipment seriously? I mean, since it's statistically very, very unlikely to happen?
