new sacred values inevitably disrupt a political arrangement post 9/11, the sacred value was Crushing Terrorism--at any cost, naturally! and today we have DHS and a half-dozen ongoing wars even after the value has faded from salience

sacred values cannot be directly or publicly opposed, once established only passively or covertly resisted until such time as they fade from the discourse

policy changes made to advance new sacred values are typically of lower quality than other policy changes because they don't take mundane costs into account and because they cannot be discussed openly. end.
