Its a good thing those Europeans have wasted billions of dollars so they could trap 38 sub-atomic particles for a fraction of a second. We wouldn’t want them to waste that money trying to improve the economies of Portugal, Spain, or Ireland, or anything like that.

Projects like this used to happen in America back when this country aspired towards greatness. I'd rather see scientific endeavors such as this Large Hadron Collider funded with my tax dollars as opposed to entitlement programs for the stupid and lazy and free drugs for old people.

That's because America has become a nation of settlers.

We used to be a nation of pioneers, and at some point in the last few decades we were emasculated, and have become a nation that is afraid of exploration and the unknown.
