I agree with you, AA.

Now that this terrible event has happened, people are searching for answers and discussing what should have been done to prevent the tragedy and what should be done to revenge the act. At times like this, it is "relatively easy" to recognize what went wrong and who the scapegoats and the heroes were.

However, if things have been conducted differently, there are tremendous costs associated with the "new ways" people now seem willing to comply with to live their lives. Not only materialistic costs, but spiritual and mental ones as well. Either the nation or the people need to adapt to the new life, or over a longer time frame people will begin to forget and relax back to the old ways.

There is a second law of thermodynamics, which says entropy increases over time in an isolated system. There are many ways to explain what entropy is, but I would choose to interpret it as randomness or chaotic phenomenon. The fact is the human race are continuously evolving and maturing on planet earth. If this terrible event of terrorist attack had not occurred, the internal pressure built up in the human society would eventually come out in another form or shape of war, violence, and conflict sometime and somewhere else. People will then search for answers and solutions there and then.

As an individual, we can only do our part to make peace with ourselves, people we care for, and the nature.

<<The demand for drugs shows little sign of abating in North America? Why? The cost to America is just enormous>>

I agree. We'd be far better off legalizing and licensing marijuana production and sales, and using the proceeds to fund Social Security and drug treatment programs.
