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 Have things changed since September 11, 2001? Many people would probably answer that question yes. Things have not only changed in the government, but people have changed also. People now view life differently and new insecurities have developed about national security which can cause people to become judgmental toward people of different nationalities. Is it fair to judge American born citizens of Arab descent just because of the terrorists who caused the 9/11 tragedy? Well many of these people feel threatened in their own country - America - now. Medical personnel, educators, etc... now have a difficult time completing their duties because they are being judged by their different features and the accent in their voice rather than their talent of helping people. I have to admit that even I am part of this crowd who judges people of different nationalities. Not too long ago I went on a trip to Washington D.C. where I was confronted by a man of Arab descent who asked me many questions about where I live. Of course the first thing I thought was that this man could possibly be a terrorist, and I quickly walked away. Another prime example is airline flights. People are now afraid to fly because of the fact that they don t know who the other people on the flight are and what they might be carrying. So yes things have changed since 9/11 and people need to realize that not all people who look different are a threat to our nation and to our safety.
