how much money?

Isn't it amazing how as human beings we have our priorities in the right order.

People starving all over the world, cancer ripping through our cells, hospitals don't have enough money, everything going private, old people not warm enough in their homes, children dying everyday from curable diseases as the country they are in is not rich enough to provide, and here we are ... spending billions of dollars on men so they can play grown ups with a collision chamber that will teach us nothing about 'ourselves' apart from what are made from and how the universe started - um how long ago?

Which as far as I only know wont help anything or anyone, however i'm not a scientist... just your normal average human being.

Will they be able to cure cancer?
give money back to the much needed starving countries?

Will we suddenly all be enlightened beings capable of loving each other without murder and hate, because wow if that's what's going to happen then great, but all I foresee is a bunch of hungry men rubbing their greedy hands afterwards at what surely will be a massive slap in the face for everyone else on this planet just trying to survive.
