"Certainly we take negative consequences seriously, but at the same time are not inhibited and restricted in the face of them"

I know it is not your emphasis, but all I could think about when I read that was suicide bombers and their ilk--those for whom death is not a "serious consequence"...a "value" they also impose on their victims. As I said, I know this is not your slant on it, but it is embedded in your point.

I see no problem with people choosing to value their death over their life. But it surely bothers me when they believe that all life is cheap simply because they have come to understand that their own is worthless.
