Ha! Inconceivable :) Well i've tried. I think we are at an impass. For my part, I have : 1 Proven that no matter what happens to Hali, Cheney will neither lose money nor make money. 2 Without consideration there is no conflict of interest. No one has proven 1 wrong. For the oppositon has: 1. Been unable to prove that Cheney benefits when Hali makes money 2. puts forward the arguement that when Cheney leaves office, he will then get his benefits by getting a plum job with Hali. Therefore any legislation that helps oil companies today will be proof of a conflict of interest if he works for them in the future. Let me first say that, 'Minority Report' was only a movie. It is absurd in the least to be crucifying a guy for what you think he might do in the future. Second, by your standard every single congressman, senator, president and vice-president would have to recuse themselves from every piece of legislation that deals with any potential field they may enter after elected office. Conspiracies are a poor substitute for logic and empiricism.
