@DiTI've just been looking through exactly the same thing. I like this one though:
"It can lead to the first significant advancement in particle physics in decades, so it's worth doing it. I don't care if it does not have practical applications. Do the Sistine Chapel or the Mona Lisa or the 9th symphony have any practical applications? I'd rather spend all this money on something that produces new scientific knowledge (space exploration, or particle experiments) rather than wasting it on useless things that have never solved anything (like dumping yet more money to Africa).
Robert Soria"
Not exactly politically correct in parts, but I agree with him.
