60. Would he be willing to impose the same criteria on businesses?
Since they have "personhood" and all....


That's always been my problem with the idea of "citizens" and "corporate citizens".

Strictly speaking you can't have the 2nd without the first, which should make the first at least equal in stature.

The problems have come with the depersonalization of the 1st and the personalization of the 2nd.

Our priorities have become purposefully inverted by those that stand to profit. The machine always works in service to the man. Taken at face value, it would seem to be the other way around, but that is data offered without contextual information.

We have allowed the abhorrently henious and abnormal to become normalized so that a few have more than they will ever be able to use.

It is a sickness.
