    Important to who? In the universe? No. To a tiger? No. To each other? Yes.

    Absolutely. EVERYTHING, and that is meant quite literally, is relative.

    In the grand scheme of things, human life isn't important regardless of who's life it is, whether it's Bill Gates or someone that's not known to the world that's about to die of AIDS.

    It's a bug (I assume) with the polling system - though it says that results will be available when the poll closes, the poll stays closed and the results hidden even after the poll deadline. It will have to be un-closed by a moderator in order to make the results visible.
