Montana quote

[Omphalos]

In my job I read a lot of legal opinions. Someone forwarded me this quote from a Montana opinion recently. Thought it was pretty good:

Corporations are not persons. Human beings are persons, and it is an affront to the inviolable dignity of our species that courts have created a legal fiction which forces people — human beings — to share fundamental, natural rights with soulless creatures of government. Worse still, while corporations and human beings share many of the same rights under the law, they clearly are not bound equally to the same codes of good conduct, decency and morality, and they are not held equally accountable for their sins. Indeed, it is truly ironic that the death penalty and hell are reserved only to natural persons.

Glad to see that some courts are doing the right thing.

That is awesome. When you get a chance you should watch Stephen Colbert's interview with John Paul Stevens http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colber ... ul-stevens" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Saw the rerun of that this morning, Mandy.

All kinds of AWESOME.

I am still waiting for a death sentence to ANY corporate business. That will be the day.
