And what should they know of the security state who only the security state know? The post The Generation 9/11 Made appeared first on The American Conservative .
Culture Culture The Generation 9/11 Made And what should they know of the security state who only the security state know? I have always said that my life began on September 11, 2001. I was three years old at the time, and I was seated in front of the television in my parent’s basement. At this point, I think both towers had been hit.

The attacks that day changed the shape of American life, but only for those who remember them. For those…Open

Residents of a tiny private village on the Spanish island of Menorca are publicly shaming tourists who trespass on their property, climb their walls, and block their front doors, all for the sake of a selfie.
