Argument:  The attacks have, besides causing many deaths and injuries, significantly reduced our wealth and efficiency. There is no way to get around “sacrifice.”  In an individualistic society, the “unlucky” or unprepared will make more sacrifices than others. “That’s the breaks.”  But we need to rethink some of our values, away from consumerism and money. We need to factor in the idea of having responsibility for others.  We need substance as well as short-term gratification.   

Counterargument Code: b1605
