Bravo LakeShoreLady....well put!

"The stockholders own the corporation. The stockholders are people. The stockholders have rights. They include the right to band together to purchase an amplifier."

And if I, as a stockholder, disagree with the corporate position? Aren't they using their clout as a group even though I might disagree with their position?
Doesn't that violate my rights? If a group of individuals want to band together and speak as one that is fine with me just don't force that opinion upon me. I think corporations have proven without a doubt that they frequently do things that are NOT in the best interests of the stockholder or employee.

It all comes back to the clerical error of corporate personhood, which must be repealed. If the corporation can't be held accountable the same way a human being can then they are not a "person" and should have no special rights.
