Or are some people less than useless?

Everyone contributes to the world in some way or another.Even those that are bad.Without the bad things then people would not know or enjoy the good.All has it's place in this world.

A homeless man lays down in the street,traffic is slowed down while he is ushered to the side walk. The delay keeps a senators motorcade from reaching the capital on time for a vote on a bill that would send $300 million in economic aid to Ethiopia. The bill is defeated by one vote so the relief is not sent. 10 million children starve to death the following week.
Every living human being contributes to or makes a difference in the world even if they are not aware of what their purpose on this planet is.
That same homeless man has a heart attack because of all the excitement.His wrist ban says he is an organ donor.
The medical team that got him in front of traffic was waiting for a heart donor for an 8 year old boy that had been beaten half to death by his father. He gets a new lease on life from a man he never saw and will never know.
The child grows up to be CEO of the 'Make a Wish ' foundation dedicating himself to bringing a quality of life to those children he will never meet.
EVERYONE contributes.

I would say that all people contribute something, if only just an example of what not to do. If we didn't have stupid people showing us how we shouldn't be living our lives, we would probably make some of the mistakes they make. And while I'll admit that maybe that's a tad too optimistic, I worry that I might be one of those useless people.
If we do say that some people are useless, I suppose I would have to say that it is, perhaps, the people to sit on their arses all day and do nothing for anybody. I suppose that even my optimistic can't deny these people are pretty much useless.

The idea of anyone being useless is a testament to the short-sightedness and lack of education that is rampant in our society. It is this same thinking that leads one to believe that the sun waits for you to wake up before it begins to shine. You see, an infant's mentality is the same... Peek-a-boo 'works' because a baby thinks that he has disappeared because he can't see past his hands.

We all contribute to the life in a sense. Whether it be good or bad. It is a cycle, without the contributions of all; we are not able to adapt,cange, grow, or learn

All contribute,some positive and some negative.Charlie is part of the negative side of contribution and should have been gone long ago!
