I was browsing blogs yesterday, and I ran across a very interesting post on how much money is spent by various groups against "gay rights."  While I have no opinion on either side of that issue (really), the post brought up a very interesting question. 
(If I find the post again, I'll post the link.)

Money is spent- by individuals, churches, groups, governments- for so many things, but what exactly would be a worthwhile use of money? 
The obvious answer is that the definition changes from person to person. 
So, is there really a completely wasteful use of money?

Some might think that money spent supporting abortion rights is worthwhile.  Their counterparts would think that it is not only a waste of money, but morally wrong to spent money on those things. 

Building beautiful churches is considered a waste by some.  Others think it shows the majesty of God.

Spending money on junk food and soda would be considered wasteful by many.  But most of those people spend money on those things anyway.  Therefore, they're voting with their wallet that there is something of value in those items. 

What is your opinion?  What is a worthwhile use of money?  What is a wasteful use of money?
