“On this anniversary of ‘9/11,’ I am mourning the loss of our American culture, of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. The state successfully exploited this horrific tragedy, amplifying its danger, and engendering fear that led Americans to abandon their healthy distrust of being ruled to give up their liberty in the name of safety. … But a culture remade can be remade again. We can emulate our Revolutionary forebears or do, non-violently, as the former captives of the Soviet bloc did: throw off the shackles of our would-be rulers, tear down the walls of the state’s power, and reclaim our status as a free and equal people, endowed with inalienable rights.” (09/11/24)
