September 11, 2001 was the day that changed our world forever. We have the images embedded in us on what happened that day and many Americans sought revenge and still seek it for this day. We wanted blood and guts and retribution for their act. Now we have more laws, more restrictions and our freedoms are limited. Speaking the truth can be very dangerous. Speaking for what you believe in can be dangerous. But out of fear, we just went along because we felt it was right. Blood is the answer. Shortly after the attacks we got bombarded with everyone on TV and every politicians speak about terrorism.

It's not just the US, it's every country in the world, it's the UN, it's this generation and the many generations before us. We fight to control resources. And those in power control and dictate how much and who gets what. Meanwhile, we are going at a fast pace that we are deprived from our connection with earth and those attacks happened and it subconciously reminded us who we are as a species.
