It's funny to realize that JFK was, culturally, like the Boomer's 9/11. Except that 9/11 is also the Boomer's 9/11. Generationally speaking, they're very afraid of everything and never let go of grudges.

9/11 was a terrible tragedy, but nowhere near as terrible as our government's response to it. After the attacks the country was more unified than at any point since WWII. Instead of using the attacks as a catalyst to continue bringing the country together, Bush used them as a wedge to drive us apart. Then the government continued using the event as an excuse to expand their power, violate the constitution, and snap up liberties.
