Just because you are a legal person concerning trade and commerce does not mean you have voting-rights and similar things... the status exists so there is an address connected with a transaction and possible lawsuits. Please, don't quote me on the details, I thought all of this very confusing too when people tried to teach me this.<br />Giving a corporation THAT kind of power is definitely scary... brings to mind the "Company" in the SciFi-Sense: The all-powerful company that employs you, runs your life and if you are fired, that's basically it for you (not that this is too farr from the truth these days anyway...).<br />Concerning the comment of RealHustla: I prefer making me the gouvernment of my own country to making my stuff legal persons: As a gouvernment, you can get into a debt of a few millions in year one... and proudly announce how much better you did the next your if the increase of your debt is below the few millions of year one... even with voting-rights for all your nails and screws, you will be hard-pressed to get THAT luxury ;).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532812325865210107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-85254395538024528572010-01-28T01:27:42.143-05:002010-01-28T01:27:42.143-05:00A. Smith, You're so right.
Real Hustla, Girl,...<b>A. Smith</b>, You're so right.<br /><br /><b>Real Hustla</b>, Girl, you crack me up!<br /><br /><b>Rippa</b>, I haven't read of anyone bring up the idea I had of treating "corporate personhoods" with a history of felonious crimes like felons, and thus strip them of the right to "vote" via influencing elections. They can begin with Exxon, who contaminated Alaska with that major oil spill from a drunken captain's neglect. <br /><br />Otherwise corporate giants will be unstoppable. Maybe this idea will spread through word of mouth and various medias.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-40588174733740119382010-01-27T17:17:58.894-05:002010-01-27T17:17:58.894-05:00Kit,

Yep, many of these Corporations have committed felonious acts themselves but yet they have been granted some form of diplomatic immunity unlike Ray-Ray.RiPPahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876723972974044402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-68456310413369797392010-01-27T13:00:07.498-05:002010-01-27T13:00:07.498-05:00So do you now have to complete an application to b...So do you now have to complete an application to be a legal person. Can I make my house a person? What about my car. Hey I know how about all of my crafting supplies as a unit.

We can't let some random guy with no serious political backing come in and take the White House.
