Lane3;

Methinks you have a strange definition of "rights."

You think "freedom of speech" is a weird right? Not me and that it applies to corporations is complete nonsense. When you give a right to a corporation that holds mass amounts of money - there is no way the individual can compete. How can a corporation that has shareholders of every political persuasion possible represent the owners - the individual. It can't and to think the framers of our rights would buy into this nonsense is bizarre.

Karen -

I knew you were going to say that. I even edited out something very much like the following from that post:

Maybe "rights" isn't the right word, exactly. Let's call them legal rights or legal protections or legal privileges. It doesn't change the fact that corporations are allowed to get away with things that individuals wouldn't be able to do.
