It didn't change me save for one thing: it made me more curious of the American mentality. I'm much less prone to mindless American-bashing than I was (but I'm much more professional when I do bash )"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

I lost something that day, a feeling of American invulnerability. Maybe that was a good thing, but massacring 3,000 people, most of them innocent, to do it was evil. I had always assumed that the terrorists just wouldn't hit us on our home soil, partly because almost everyone likes us as a people, even if our government and corporations are loathed globally, and partly just cuz no one would dare (ofrgetting they tried in '93).
There was a unique moment in history created by this attrocity. A moment when humanity came together and we were all united by grief and horror. Almost everyone everwhere was an American that day. Too bad it couldn't have lasted.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

on that day america's seemingly invunerable status was proven to be fake, but our greatest strength shined through brighter than ever.

oh, and about the "most of them innocent", were there any statistics taken on this? were any of them guilty of anything that could even remotely be constrewed as violence towards the middle east?"I've lived too long with pain.

It's sort of my way of giving back for the opportunities I've been given, and hopefully helping to prevent future attacks."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.
