Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story 9/11 was a wake up call for us because we finally realized that we should be more united. When we opened our eyes we saw that we weren't as safe as we thought we were. Before 9/11 we felt secure about our country so we would do our daily chores, worked, shopped, and attended school. Now any one who is a noncitizen will make us very uncomfortable and we tend to get away frome them because we are afraid of getting hurt. Which made us criticize more often of people who dress different and follow another culture than us. We have seen other disasters or tragedies in other countries and have felt and seen their needs afterwards. But 9/11 was something that made an impact in our lives and now we see things differently it hurts more what it is going out in the world. We have learned that there is a lot of evil and mean people all over the world and it seems like there is a continuous World War. Different countries are just fight ing without cause or just for what they think seems to be right for everyone. The ones that always pay for it are innocent children and people who don t have part in what is going on. There are many other there who don t like the way we live in democracy so they want to get rid of us. We can salvage anything good from 9/11 but it depends on each one of us because we all live in a different world in our heads. So what I learned from 9/11 will be different from some one who lost a relative.
