Well, I guess I can't watch the news for the next month. The national newscasts have already started dispensing their "9/11 One Year Later" drivel.
Look, five years from now, maybe ten, we'll know how much this country was affected by the attacks. But we don't know right now, because we're still living through the cultural changes. Ahscroft & Co. are still trying to stomp the Bill of Rights, Dubya's still trying to convince the other 6 billion people on Earth that blowing up Iraq again is a great idea, and Osama himself just might still be alive.
So anyone that says, "how has America changed since 9/11" is just looking for airtime. Just skip it. All of it. And let me know when news is on the news again.
