The Issue to Argue.
"On September, 11th our new world was a small town with a huge main street where everyone suddenly knew everyone else, wore the same colors, felt like kin. It's hard to imagine we could have huddled comfortable in such close quarters for very long"(Gibbs, 2001, p.80). All lawmakers love their country and would do anything to defend it, and that includes doing their jobs, which is to disagree over how best to do this. Scholars argue over whether it is their job to try to understand the enemies" reasons, or whether the effort is even worth trying for. People in New York argue whether to rebuild the Twin Towers, while the people of Minnesota argue whether it is right for state workers to strike during wartime. Yet, no one argued about much of anything on Sept. 11th; our country was beyond doubt united. If people feel safe to argue in public again, maybe everything is starting to get back to normal. The conversation is getting too unrefined between those who believe the world has changed forever and those who may agree but still want to move on with their lives and put the past behind them. But the people who do not move on are wallowing in their own misery. .
A Chicago psychotherapist shows his opinion on his argument. "I had to listen to one hundred different versions of how horrendous an event this was," he says. "I didn't want to hear any more pain, to have more emotions thrown at me. The pastor felt that he needed to talk about whether people are being too patriotic and too gung-ho. That's fine. But that was not what I went there for"(Gibbs, 2001, p.80). It's good to argue, vent your anger, but there is so much arguing, especially in the city with a hole in the ground where two skyscrapers used to be. In lower Manhattan they vacuum and wipe, go to work, go to a funeral, then come home, vacuum and wipe, and scream at the community-board meeting about the filth in the air.
