Essays on Idaho-corporate rights

[2ndchance@alloymail.com]

visionaries...is hind sight 2020.
In 1886 the U.S.supream court found that corporations are the same as a "natural person"
 Of coarse I don't think that science has been able to prove that yet.
 But that is the point at which corporations were given 
protection under the Bill of Rights.
 People of all political backgrounds should take carefull note of this.
 After all the revolutionary war was partly fought because the king of England through the use of Charters(corporations)was actively pulling great revenues from the colonies.
We then devised a government for and by the people to represent themselves.
 Now we have corporations that are considered no differently then the people and most operate as collective centralized forces with non democratic agendas. 
Feudal lords are popping up all over. Like a good pyramid scheme its fooling a lot of regular people.
 We are in essance in the same boat as 200 years ago all over again.
 Idaho is in the soup with rest of the world now.
  Just what kind of Boston Tea Party will we get to see this time.
 Who out there would have joined those folks?
