Well, see. I presumed that you expected everyone else to be good
Samaritans and follow suit.. Lets see 300,000,000 people * $660...
$198,000,000,000? See, if everyone just sat on a couch and stared at
walls, instead of "doing", anything, they would make up the cost of the
entire LHC project in one year! Mind, that isn't including the probably
trillions more spent on trips, gas, boats and other recreational
vehicles, etc. Its ingenious. We just figure that if you care so much
about this, *you* should be the one leading the charge. ;) lol
