There should be a list of problems that we, humanity should attempt to solve. It starts like this:
1. Stop people dying from lack of water/clean water.
2. Feed the starving.
3. Stop people from dying of entirely preventable diseases like TB,flu,diarrhoea etc.
.
.
345. Go back to the moon.
.
.
.
567. Go to Mars.
.
.
894. Build a giant particle accelerator to answer a question most people don't care about much less understand so some scientists can go 'Oh yeah, thats why we have mass then.'
We are doomed, not because it will make a black hole and destroy the Earth, but because we are too stupid to save ourselves.

And whilst I'm on the subject, I have some questions, will the LHC provide me with :
1. Flying cars?
2. Free sports channels ?
3. More money?
4. Better weather ?
5. Free intergalactic travel ?
4. Doughnuts?
No it f&(*^ing won't.

*Shakes fist at crazy people!
In the battle of good causes if its LHC vs Feeding the Starving, Feeding the Starving wins !

The problem with money is that you don't solve all sorts of issues by throwing money at it (you need small funds and TIME to find a solution and then perhaps that solution requires a lot of money), and in some cases where it needs money you don't have people willing to spend money on it.
In general that means that "Why are you spending money on this when there is still AIDS/Cancer?" statements are dumb and counter-productive. Some of our best solutions to important problems have been discovered as a side-effect from pursuing "silly" projects like the LHC, or going to the moon or discovering more effective ways of changing a persons status from "alive" to "dead".
Name one. Directly.

If you are talking about Velcro, Teflon or The Parker Pen Refill, then yes we got them from going to the moon, but if you think that stuff not sticking to your pan is important then you're just barking bloody mad!
It cost how much to go to the moon? And you got what for it ? Pens that write upside down?

And transistors was 1925.
My point is that its silly spending money on crazy science toys when people are dying and that problem is entirely solvable.

If the people in Ethiopia (for example) didnt die by the minute, they'd breed like rabbits, overpopulate and consume a lot of resources.
Oh, well thats Ok then.

I'll tell you exactly where I draw the line.
Big problems require big solutions, from the government of countries. Once you eliminate water and food poverty, a country can maybe begin to stand on its feet and take its place in the world, freeing it from dependance on charity from other nations.
I re-iterate my point: If a govt wants to do things with lots of money, there are priorities above chasing around after some hypothetical "God particle".

Damn straight.
