Definately. The Corporate Personhood concept is one of the biggest travesties the SCOTUS has imposed on the Republickalm wrote:The constitution was written with individuals in mind, not groups of people. Courts can be wrong, deal with it.Ivytalk wrote:

Except that the liberals of the early 1800s make today's conservatives look like raging lefties.Cap'n Cat wrote:Update on this one -Cap'n Cat wrote:

At first, it was rather boring, but after a while, I caught the theme - the undulating successes and failures of liberalism and conservatism in Eastern Europe which caused it to be, to this day, so fvcking backward. Back in the early 1800's, liberalism worked to eliminate feudalism, which tended to keep the peasants down. Conservatism rose and that's when economic elites tsarted to form, creating much larger gaps in the socioeconomic strata. Hmmmm, sounds familiar, don't it?
