The date was 9\/11\/01; the time was 8:46AM. The stock market was supposed to open that day; it didn\u2019t. Other than holidays or weekends, the stock market had never been closed for any other reason. This was the day it all changed.<\/p>\n

The stock market stayed closed for days. I don\u2019t think anyone cared. I certainly didn\u2019t care; I doubt the people who worked at the stock market were happy to be away from there. Terrible way to get days off.<\/p>\n

If you look back at things, it\u2019s possible that we owe a lot of our financial problems today to that day. Our economy was riding high before that. President Clinton had left us with a wonderful surplus. The stock market was riding high. We hadn\u2019t had a dotcom bust yet. We all believed we would be something big, something special, even if there was still anger at how our election had turned out, not necessarily the choice of the man but the way the Supreme Court got involved.<\/p>\n

On this day 21 years ago, we all forgot about that. We didn\u2019t care anymore. But somehow, we knew everything had changed.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s still changing us all today. Peace to you on this day.
