You know, it's kind of crass, but remembering back, sept. 11th is one of my more favourite days to look back on. I felt terrible watching the attacks and the buildings fall, but for the first time that I can remember in my life, people all over the city were talking to one another. The buses were loud with conversation, deli's, restaurants, parks and sidewalks were all bustling with conversation. It was almost like a real community. I thought things would be different after 9/11, all this outcry of support, the ease of conversation, the sort of 'appreciation' of the city and the people again. Healthy discussion didn't seem to be taboo anymore, and people seemed a little more in-tune with other people.

You know... as crass as that sounds you make a great point.
