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
