You're right, but I think this belief, or this ideology, is predicated on the fact that this applies when MY guy is president. I wonder what Cheney would think about granting additional presidential powers to President John Kerry. If that's the case, the thinking is less of a true belief of how the government should operate, and more of an "exploit of convenience" to get as much power as I can when my time comes. -- She's a PhD in "I told you so" You've a knighthood in "I'm not listening" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225828 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
