Thus, the following is resolved: We, as a people united in spirit across the world, resolve to, STOP USING 9/11/2001 AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR ANYTHING.

Yup, that's all I got.
reminds me of the episode of family guy where lois is running for mayor and is getting hammered in the polls by actually answering questions vs spin. she ends up winning the election when she decides to answer every question (no matter what the subject) with "9/11"
