If another terror attack happens here will you change how you think about

21. That was my thought. We have already lived through this.

I will admit driving into a city with an extra effluent smokestack made me alert /wary a day or two after 9-11. I was more bothered a week later, when I was buying a bottle of wine - and there were a bunch of bottles with eagles and flags on them. I asked the person at the counter if part of the proceeds were going to a victim's fund (because that I could understand - but the sheer commercialism of peddling wine by patriotism ... on the backs of all of those deaths), he said no. And looked at me as if it was such a strange thing to ask.

I remember being a little jumpy for a short period of time. Being horrified at the visuals, and later the stories of some of the lost lives.

But it didn't reshape the way I view the world. Except with more cynicism towards rampant commercialization of a horrific event - and then towards political manipulation/propoganda of the same horrific event.
