Explanation:
Here is an anecdote for Jean. She wrote:"not conserving some things of the past costs the people and society their mental health and mental balance."
Well, some years ago in Toronto, Canada, the head of the neutron activation archaeometry group there got the order to close the lab and the reactor, because they needed the site to construct a hospital. The scientist asked all of us in the same profession to write a letter to the president of the Toronto University. As an obeying citizen, I wrote a letter to the president in saying that thanks to the work done at the reactor in Cultural Heritage, the average man saw interesting projects shown by the big media. By closing the reactor, it would take away the mental health and balance of a large group of people who from the moment of closure wouldn't get any longer this info. I wrote the president that by leaving the lab open, he would not need the hospital to hospitalize these people.
He answered that the decision was not his but somewhere higher up. Everythin seems always to happen 'somewhere higher up' who are voted in by us!
