NEW YORK CITY -- Today authorities reported that September 11th still hurts, even a year after the original event occurred. The attacks were the single most brutal terrorist attack ever which needn't even be mentioned and is still painful to think about.
   
    "It makes me feel terrible, afraid and tiny," said Bill Atkins, a 45-year-old auto worker of the attacks. "It felt similar to having a close member of my family dying."
   
    Images from that day are still painful to look at, bringing unbeckoned cringes onto any American, influential pollsters said in a report Tuesday. Most networks effectively banned descriptive video of that day from mainstream broadcasts since shortly after the disaster.
   
    "Any mention of the numbers nine and eleven put together still brings me shudders," said Robin Neigh, a 22-year-old web designer in Paris, Ca. "One day, one week, one month, one year. It doesn't seem to get any easier."
   
    Analysis by leading universities shows that despite the extreme emotional pain inextricably linked to contemplating the events, they nonetheless essentially established an assumed subtext than ran fluently through the entire year.
   
    "Despite the apparent pain it brought us, throughout the year the topic resiliently laid underneath every word spoken through any media, social conversation or personal introspective dialog," said Sandy Harpten, a University of Maine researcher. "It shifted the paradigm so much we have to think about it affects the way it affects us, and the way it affects how we think about how it affects us."
   
    Perhaps most troubling, interviewees say, is the fact that there appear to be an unending tide of people in this world who still possess a burning desire to repeat such acts again.
   
    "I pray every day that a day like that shall never come again," said Sherman Forest, a minister in St. Paul, MN. "Except every fucking day I see another asshole on TV burning an American flag, saying what a great guy bin Laden is. Fuck them. Fuck them all."
   
    "The events of that day took something away from us that can never be returned," said Trent Walcrest, a Washington, DC-based analyst. "And you know what, no matter how many terrorist training camps we destroy, it really doesn't make it feel any better. It's something we are never going to get back until our ancestors forget the whole thing ever happened."
