This is an opinion piece from my local paper. Thought she actually had some nice words to say. Nothing groundbreaking, but also interesting to see a story from someone around my age. She says she was in 5th grade, so she is only 2 years younger than myself. --- Show me a man who resorts to violence and I'll show you a man who's run out of good ideas Phil Funnie ...

I'm skeptical of takes that look back with fondness at post-9/11 unity. That unity passed the Patriot Act and launched a war that we're still dealing with today.

That unity passed the Patriot Act and launched a war that we're still dealing with today. it was temporary. i remember people being very nice for a few weeks. even on the freeway, commuting to work, people drove calmer. once the rhetoric and the war started everything turned toxic. i have noticed a drastic change in the general mood of society post 9/11 its quite obvious it ruined us --- "3rd Best Whiskey in Northern Burma" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvjOu4EzjYg ...

People actually tried to be nicer to each other for a while. I remember it. Even some of the douchebag jock types in my class went out of their way to be less assholish for a while --- Show me a man who resorts to violence and I'll show you a man who's run out of good ideas Phil Funnie ...

It will be interesting in another couple of decades when historians look back on this time period. While I'm sure his ideal of "completely destroying the United States" was never realistically achievable, it's questionable whether Osama Bin Laden ultimately got what he wanted from the attacks. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
