Next week, we, as a nation, will honor the stolen lives that were taken by terrorists on September 11, 2001\. At the time, the citizens of this country bonded over that tragic day, people re-examined their own lives and the news media declared that the United States of America would never be the same.

> “How do you believe America has changed since September 11, if it has changed at all?”

So this week Q-Line wants to know: Call (310) 285-8106 with your response before Thursday at 5 p.m. We’ll print them in Friday’s paper. Please limit your comments to a minute or less; it might help to think first about the wording of your response.
