Re: per your advice
I can tell you that government spending is not always the great evil that many rabid capitalists want you to believe. If anything, its corporate gluttony that is much more abhorrent to me.
Government and corporations are the same entity these days, in your government as well. So it is all abhorrent.
If anything, private business has some freedom to dictate it's own impact on society and judge for itself how to use their money.
The LHC isn't just looking for particles, and it's potential may prove to be beneficial to future generations who may need to explore resources on other planets. Why are you placing limits to something that, in your own words, only a few people understand, so only a few people know the full potential of? Just because you don't see it doesn't mean highly experienced people don't.
It always pays off in the long run to listen to the nerds.
