28. I have the opposite reaction. I had been planning to move out of New York after 9/11.

I lived in NYC at the time. After the attack, I decided there was no way. I'm staying. I live just outside the city now, but I'll never leave the area.

Same with now. This is MY country. If you are going to ruin it, at the very least I will be in your face and making your life miserable. Not going anywhere.
