Most of us know what we were doing, where we were, who we were with and so on on Sept. 11, 2001. How many of us knew that this was the day when once more we became a nation driven by fear? Roosevelt was able to get us out of that trough back in the '30s. WWII finished the job. When we stopped fearing everyday life, our economy grew, equality grew, freedom grew.
Now, our economy, our equality, our freedom are on the wane, largely the result of our leadership in the 21st century which has striven to make us a nation driven by fear. Who or what will get us out of this trough?
