"Corporations" CAN have Rights, etc. AS GRANTED BY THEIR CHARTERS & LAW.

I Vehemently DENY that Corporations, etc. have CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS which I Assert are clearly reserved for Living/Breathing Citizens.

That Fact that an egregious error was committed by the SC over 100 years ago should in NO WAY bind us to their poor decision. Much of what has occurred in "this arena" over the past 40 years is a direct consequence of trying to 'Honor' that flawed precedent. It is Far Past Time to recognize the that the foundational precedent is/was in error and stop forcing "solutions" where none can exist because the original precedent is in error.

I will concur that much of KD's proposed "solutions" would be beneficial IF you accept the original precedent. I do not accept that precedent and believe we've already spent enough time (124 Years - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_p.... trying to accomodate this original error which has been the root of much suffering.
