I am not sure where anything i said means quantitative evaluation. I despise capitalism, but people's actions do have impact and i am free to evaluate them on such. For example, my measurement could be the altruism and positive impact of their actions. You have jumped to some very negative conclusions and i am glad i don't have you in my circle.

Edit: in addition, i never said anything about "fundamentally" being worth different amounts. I very specifically said actions are a good way to determine their value. There is nothing fundamental or intrinsic about that.

Edit 2: Wait, I see it now, sorry. It's the all men created equal part. I do think everyone should be born with equal rights and should be given opportunities to be healthy and happy. I'll make an amendment to the original comment. I didn't think the "created" part through, and meant that people aren't "destined" to be equal, their actions separate them.
