It is a huge impact on our entire world, and yet is essentially never talked about, never challenged, never debated. It (corporation=person) just "is".<br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343580769233686666.post-16714212616612550592011-02-25T12:13:02.150-08:002011-02-25T12:13:02.150-08:00And btw, among many folks like myself (libertarian...And btw, among many folks like myself (libertarian-leaning types), a point of distinction - when it comes to much of the incredibly enormous expansion of the federal government, and the parallel emasculation of state govts (no longer even remotely "equal"), I would point out that the constitution has a method for absorbing change. When it comes to ending slavery or giving women equal rights, or defining who can vote (18 years old now), amend the constitution.<br /><br />one problem that Libs and myself have is that we strayed from this roadmap. If the majority want to approve abortion, then pass a constitutional amendment - same with so many other issues. Don't "solve" problems by court rulings out of thin air, or by "administrative procedures" (EPA), or by grossly distorting "the common welfare".<br /><br />To me this is like unions and where I have gripe with them. I don't oppose unions, but I do oppose being FORCED to join a union. Either the union has value and people freely associate with it, or they do not.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343580769233686666.post-71693600549772818132011-02-22T08:23:31.162-08:002011-02-22T08:23:31.162-08:00Nice post.
