Sometimes I get a little jealous of people who got to experience life before 9/11. I mean, I was 11 when it happened, but I didn't get to live life as a teenager or young adult in that period. Not being tracked in everything you do, school administrations treating all of their students as potential criminals, the TSA, Homeland Security, all the extreme nationalism.

I know Columbine really got the ball rolling in treating schools like prisons, but 9/11 made the US a super shitty place to live.
