I haven't seen your previous posts, but I can detect from your questions
that your one of those people that
prefers to have a defined, usually positive result as an outcome to an
event.

For many, myself included, it can be as basic as a desire to learn more
about a place, or situation that I am
interested in.

Gains in knowledge are enough for me as a reason to explore, I don't need
more of a purpose than that.

I have found that this is a difficult concept for some to accept and that is
fine too. I'm sure that you have interests
that I would find pointless and useless, nonetheless, they are subjects that
are important to your well being. I have no
problem with that. Why should I? I'm comfortable in my belief system and
have no desire or need to convince others
to believe as I do, in order for me to be ok with myself.

If you can't accept that the government spends money on studies of this
nature, complain to your local state representative
and they will pass on you concerns to the next level of government. If
enough people complain, something might be done
about your concerns.

I believe it's like trying to explain the concept of anything that one is
morally or ethically against. If you don't accept it, not
much can be said to change one's mind. If you don't get it, you don't get
it. There's nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned.

Good day,
