Maybe they could have spent some of the time and money on giving you a semi-decent education for example?
It's not as if particle accellerators are anything new. Scientists have been smacking sub-atomic particles into each other for years now. The only difference is that this one does it a bit faster. As has already been said, the amounts of mass and energy involved are miniscule compared to those present at the birth of the universe so anyone worried this is going to be the end of civilisation as we know it is frankly, retarded.
I'd be more worried that the Chinese claim to be close to achieving atomic fusion with a net energy increase. If they build a fusion reactor before the Americans do there's gonna be an arms race that'll put the cold war to shame.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
