It is the end of the world as we know it

Now that the election is over, most of the nation is celebrating and the other half is threatening to move to Canada (which in some ways is ironic, for Canada has implemented many of the programs Obama supports, so basically, refuge can't really be found there, but I digress). Anyways, everyone looks at this election as one of the most important in history, and as far as I can see, its historical, no doubt, but in 4 years the process starts all over again so life goes on.

Anyways, this sort of brings me to the point, that as American's we are in some senses, very ethnocentric. It makes sense, you care most about what is going to affect you, but I think it also blinds us to outside issues that are equally if not more important.

For example, you may have already heard about this, but they have built a "Large Hadron Collider" along the Russian border, which really could destroy this planet and everything and everyone on it, by sucking us into a blackhole. This scares me! This really makes me worry! And the thing that scares me the most is that I think relatively few people know about it, and even worse, those that do know about it, probably know relatively little, about how dangerous this experiment is.

Now I'm all for science, but some things really should not be dealt with. Now, unlocking the secrets of the big bang theory would be a monumental discovery, but is it really worth putting the lives of 6 billion people at risk??? Isn't there a point we reach when we can just say enough is enough, and leave some things a mystery?

Curiosity killed the cat after all.....
Just saying.
