These kids are mostly teenagers, most of whom were very young when 9/11 happened. But still - in ten years since the most historical event of the '00s, have their parents really never talked to them about 9/11 or Osama bin Laden? Did they just space out during that conversation? I just find this so difficult to believe. Bouie makes an even more unsettling point - more unsettling because it is certainly true:
[F]or each generation, America is a very different place, and the America we lost on 9/11 -- the America that didn't profile citizens, torture people, or monitor their phone calls -- isn't even a distan[t] memory for the children and teenagers of today's America.Scary, isn't it?
