Ah, yes... the corporation as "individual"

Fox — 6/15/2005 5:13:25 PM (archived)

The same argument that opposed anti-trust legislation a hundred years ago. How quaint...

Ah, let's legislate away peoples' "choice and freedom"...

People, as individuals, pollute mostly when they drive their cars. Corporations and municipalties pollute in the aggregate, through smokestacks, sewage outflows, and surface runoff from 'factory' farms.

... because we, the elite intelligensia know what's better for them and are eager to punish folks for unapproved attitudes.

Suicide and assisted suicide are againt the law. So is murder. If it's illegal for you to poison yourself (with or without your doctor's help), and it's illegal for you to poison your neighbor, why is it not also illegal for your city or your power company to poison everyone?
