OUR LIVES WERE CHANGED BY 9/11
 “I have watched through a window the world that has fallen.”
W. H. Auden
This Tuesday’s date, 9/11, turned into the frantic dialing of 911 eleven years ago. . A surreal feeling of shock and helplessness enveloped all Americans as we watched that day’s events unfold. In hindsight, we should ask many questions. Is America a safer place today? Maybe. But we also have witnessed a fundamental shift in our culture, where liberty and freedom have been compromised so that we supposedly feel “more safe.”  Above is the world Trade Center in flames,  and a photo of ground zero  last year.
That’s my friend Kevin salter, who managed to escape from the Towers covered with ash. Â And look at the poignant videos below of that terrible day. You can read my column about the tragedy or 9/11,
