I'm confident that everyone can agree on this one item. Only a member of the human race can be allowed the status of person. One must be living, breathing and self aware while sharing the same basic sets of genes as the rest of the human race. Corporations are vehicles of capitalism and industrial enterprise. They exist as a product of the state and are less alive than a virus...although the behaviours are similar. If you agree that corporations are not to be considered a person... http://pol.moveon.org/constitutionalamendment/?rc=fb.taf.alt I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.

I do agree corporations are not people, and therefore have no rights. Unfortunately the current U.S. Supreme court seems to disagree. If that holds, then I personally think they should be subject to the "death penalty". Closed down and disbanded, assets seized, and dumped in a paupers grave. Janice |

Corporations are pieces of paper and have the rights that legislatures choose to give them. Time to amend the set of rights that legislatures can bestow on paper. |
