9/11: Freedom Attacked - Freedom Defended

[El VetoVoter]

How was "Our Freedom" defended (after 9/11)?

In solemn memory of the devastation of the 9/11 attacks, of 15 years ago, I thought it proper to start a thread on its effects on the world, society, and especially "Our Freedom".

Immediately after the 911 attacks, President GW Bush said that "our freedom" had been attacked and that "our freedom" would be defended.

In order to defend our freedom he then took it away and locked it up tight (The Patriot Act).

Freedom is not like gold. You can't protect it in a vault.

I am under the impression that your idea of "Freedom" does not equal that of the society in general. I again recommend you found a country based u[on your own unique interpretation.

freedom has been curtailed. necessarily.

when the zombies take hostages and kill people on planes, the consequence is increased security (and less freedom). I can cry because I now get checked before going on a plane or I can face that this is a necessary infringement to keep people safer. there is always a give and take with freedom vs. security.
