>> "you can have as much democracy as you can afford." << Yep, that's pretty much it. The future of liberal democracy didn't quite turn out the way it was supposed to when history ended.

"'You've heard the saying, "you can have as much justice as you can afford." Since the Supreme Court ruled corporations have the same rights as an individual. One could say, "you can have as much democracy as you can afford."' I can't say that I disagree, I just don't know. When that ruling came down, it made sense to me that if a corporation is understood to be a legal entity, how can it be subject to a different set of standards from individual citizens? The knee-jerk response is, that's disgusting. I feel that. But what is the basis in law for allowing anything but equal justice under the law for all legal entities? Denying such equal justice would take in non-profits too, charitable and professional ones like medical associations, architects, teachers, etc". Should we have laws that only discriminate against "for profit" corporations? ...on the fence. VP
