Deliciously exhaustive list of opinion comments. Thank you. However, unburdened as you were by a single fact, except when coming to the end, there, in a single sentence you twice tried something factual. Both are untrue.

Mr. Cheney was never an "oil executive" at any time in his life. He served as a Director on the boards of Procter & Gamble (a "soap" company), Union Pacific (a transportation company, who does own oil interests) and EDS (a software services company), and was CEO of Haliburton; a major service company who has never in its history (since 1880 - the date of its Dresser Industries specialty pipe business) owned a drop of oil. An examination of Mr. Cheney’s "blind trust" would also have told you he does not own a single share in any company that could conceivably be called an "oil company." Secondly, you "mis-quote" his comment made in 1990 before the American Enterprise Institute. Such citations should reflect accuracy. Perhaps you have an idea that your opinions can be asserted so forcefully, they become facts? Regnar R. B. Kearton
