I realize that allowing comcorp to erect a cell phone tower next to the high school will bring our town thousands of dollars. But until we know the full details of the safety of this operation, we must stand firm against its construction. Do we want to risk our children’s health for the sake of a few thousand dollars? Aren’t our children worth more than that?

How does the use of rhetorical questions contribute to the effectiveness of this argument?

2. Many people have different opinions, not all are right. Some may choose money over family and that's evil.
