Besides, <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.weblogs.com\/2002\/09\/11#911Linkroll\" title=\"Doc Searles: 9-11 Linkroll\">plenty of other people have worthwhile things to say<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I think part of my little bout of writer&#8217;s block is just that the entire situation is frustrating. One year ago, something huge and immensely terrifying happened. In the year since then, however, a multitude of other, smaller, less immediately noticeable things have happened (usually in the name of &#8216;patriotism&#8217;), that added up scare me as much as (and quite possibly more than) the attacks themselves. It&#8217;s a different kind of scare, but it&#8217;s a scare, nothenless. Awareness of this side of things <a href=\"http:\/\/seattlepi.nwsource.com\/attack\/86318_rights10.shtml\" title=\"Seattle P-I: Fear grows that war on terror is trampling rights\">does seem to be growing<\/a>, though, which is good.<\/p>\n<p>I guess, most of what I&#8217;d really want to say I&#8217;ve said already, either in some of my rants over the past year or in the links I&#8217;ve chosen to highlight in this blog (the majority of which, unfortunately, still reside in limbo).<\/p>\n<p>I dunno.
