Dear XenopusTex:

You believe that there is no intrinsic value in human beings, that our individual value is determined by what we do.

I would like to examine your belief, and mine, further with you.

If what a person does determines whether the person has value, then who is the person deciding what action that a person does gives him/ her value? Who is the judge?

And does a person who earned value through his/ her action stops doing that action, is the value gone with the cessation of the action?

It is my understanding that you value acting as a prosecutor and believe you have value acting as a prosecutor. Did you lose that value on your trip to Canada- or does the value holds for a vacation only and lost if you became unemployed?
