I don't agree. The "worth" of Bill Gates is easily estimatible into the
billions, for instance.

You're talking money, which is an artifice. I'm talking real "worth." He
and GWB are worth no more than any of the other six billion plus human
beings.

But an interesting insight into what people think "worth" means. Sad.

I was taking the literal sense of the sentence. If you don't think the worth
of the President of the United States is more than one endangered animal, then
you need to rethink the whole premise. I don't think anyone is missing the
dodo bird right about now. While I am not in favor of extincting animals, I
place more value on a human being's life. I am not a secularist. What I think
is sad is some people being more concerned w/ animal's than themselves or
others.
