Sure Chuck. I meant, "where was your conflict-of-interest outrage during the last 8 years? Cause I don't remember it, so this post must be religious and thus not any type of objective analysis." You see I don't even know what the hell Barnes was talking about beyond some type of conflict-of-interest thing. Maybe if I read it I might agree, I just don't know. But the content of the post really doesn't matter because what caught my fancy was that I don't remember Mr. Barnes expressing outrage over massive war profiteering that was not just tolerated, but endorsed, by the former CEO of Haliburton, VP Cheney. Now if somebody is chock full of government conflict-of-interest principles, I think I'd remember the long diatribes Mr. Barnes MUST have posted over that little gem. Yet I don't. Thus either: 1.) My memory is faulty and Mr. Barnes did in fact blow out his o-ring over Haliburton, or 2.) Mr. Barnes is just discovering what a government conflict-of-interest is, or 3.) Mr. Barnes has no principle on this matter and is simply posting religiously. Since Occom's Razor tells us the correct answer is #3, the post deserves the same response I give to all religious people, which is to point out the errors in their logic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:287546 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
