A CNN host just asked a guest, "does the U.S. have too much of a bunker mentality since 9/11?" It's a loaded question without an insightful answer because we don't know -- absent proof -- what constitutes "too much."
But that question led me to think about another one: What if 9/11 hadn't happened? What would your life be like today if it had never happened?
Update 9:49 a.m. Rasmussen: 54% says we've changed for the worse since 9/11
