“No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and . . . . their minds are to be informed by education what is right and what wrong; to be encouraged in habits of virtue and to be deterred from those of vice . . . . These are the inculcations necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure and order of government.”

— Thomas Jefferson

When Jefferson used the word *people*, he wasn't referring to corporations or PACs.

I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...

Sounds Exactly like the HeadStart Program to me.

What's the problem again?

Huh?

Five members of the SCOTUS validated the belief that rights are a commercial enterprise.

While you're getting angry about cat shit like 80 cents of every food stamp dollar spent being used to feed children, 100's of millions of dollars are being spent to protect 100's of billions in tax breaks and corporate welfare...

So, I circle back to my original point...when Jefferson sued the term *people* he wasn't referring to corporations or PAC's...he was referring to something that was equally able to exercise and individual or a collective right as an individual.

I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...

Only people can speak. They can say whatever they want to. Even if they belong to a group. What don't you understand about that? Nevermind you don't understand much about anything. Well you don't.

See what I was talking about. You're stupid. A business can't speak. But the owners/employees of a comanay/corparation can speak and they will speak even if you jump up and down and throw another temper tantrum. Grow up war. Free speech is for everyone.

They already have that right. But it's now based on their ability to pay so actually it's money that has the extra special right. And since you accuse gays of having garnered special rights, gays that are owners/employees/stockholders with an ability to buy speech have even more special rights (in your world).

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
