From the Paper:

"The attacks that took place on September 11, 2001 had a great effect on Americans everywhere. For most people, the event ignited a new and empowered sense of patriotism; consequently, it caused George W. Bush's approval rating to soar through the roof. However, not everyone felt this surge of increased support for our government after the attacks. The poem, "Self-Evident," by singer songwriter, Ani Difranco elaborates on the other side of the September 11th story, one that is seldom heard or tolerated."
