September 11, 2001; the "gift" that keeps on giving. It first gave us the Patriot Act, then torture scenarios to concoct evidence for the occupation of Iraq, followed by warrant-less spying and wiretapping, leading to a perverse account of the day's events via a compromised 9/11 Commission, and continues to this day with the maintenance of a host of rules/regulations/requirements to constantly instill in us the fear of an impending attack which never seems to materialize.
You are free to comment on this discussion in any way you feel is appropriate. If you choose to use to use any language which our editors feel is vulgar -- by their standards -- your comment may be tagged "Crude or Lewd" and may be filtered out of the discussion by those who prefer not to read that sort of thing. If you know you have entered something which will cause your comment to be tagged, we ask that you tag it yourself to save us the time. We do encourage everyone to be civil and not make rude attacks on other people in the Forum. We don't censor out those remarks, but few people enjoy reading them and we would like participation in our Forums to be a pleasant experience for everyone. And, by concentrating on what is said instead of who is saying it, even those who may disagree with you will be more likely to consider your opinions valid.
