Reader Poll: Did 9/11 "Change Everything"?
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_08_09-2009_08_15.shtml#1249936166
Back around 2002 to 2003, it was common for people to debating the
role of government in the national security area to say that "9/11
changes everything." The idea was that the attacks of 9/11/01 had so
substantially changed our sense of the terrorist threat -- or at least
should have -- that it called for a new set of responses to
traditional problems in the area of national security. Of course, this
was a hotly contested idea: Some people believed that 9/11 changed
everything, and others strongly disagreed. But it was a common phrase
that was frequently invoked in debates over privacy and security.
I'm curious to know if VC readers agree or disagree with this
statement today, almost 7 years after the 9/11 attacks. Here's a
reader poll on the question that asks if you agree or disagree, how
strongly, and where you generally fall on the political spectrum.
Some people believe that "9/11 changed everything." Do you agree?
(_) I strongly agree: My political views generally are left of center.
(_) I strongly agree: My political views generally are right of
center.
(_) I strongly agree: My political views are "other" (center,
libertarian, etc.)
(_) I somewhat agree: My political views generally are left of center.
(_) I somewhat agree: My political views generally are right of
center.
(_) I somewhat agree: My political views are "other" (center,
libertarian, etc.)
(_) I somewhat disagree: My political views generally are left of
center.
(_) I somewhat disagree: My political views generally are right of
center.
(_) I somewhat disagree: My political views are "other" (center,
libertarian, etc.)
(_) I strongly disagree: My political views generally are left of
center.
(_) I strongly disagree: My political views generally are right of
center.
