What makes a person valuable?

6. My rack is not big or perky
Am I worthless? Or just worth less?

5. we're only equal when we're dead
Hummer drivers, for example, are taking up my oxygen and gave up any sense of worth they had long ago. So I say, some people aren't of any value at all.

12. To many in our society,
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 01:59 AM by bushwentawol
the more money a person has raises their value. Deify the wealthy and all that. As living breathing humans everyone is of exactly equal worth. Some just happen to have skills that are financially rewarded by society. In the eyes of God everyone is equal.
