As the years inexorably pass, it gets harder to remember what actually happened. An entire generation of Americans has been born and raised up since that day and will never have any memory of it or – tragically – the America that existed prior to it.

They have never experienced the freedom to fly unmolested by government goons. They will never know what it was like to like in America rather than a Homeland. They cannot remember – because they never lived in – a country that had police  but was not a police state.

So many things, receding in time that many will never remember because they never knew.

Americans who were of age at the time allowed America to be turned into a Homeland. Were cowed by fear into being terrorized by the government in the name of combatting "terrorism." What a handful of shady characters managed to do to a few thousand Americans enabled the government to do to every American. "You are either with us," lisp-whispered the odious George W. Bush like the viper he is, or you are "against us." So was born the American police state.
