constitutional values that mean that public service actually means serving the public interest.

show me where in the Constitution that unions and corps have these rights then.

what i am trying to tell you is that as corporate and union rights increase, individual rights decrease. Individual rights get smaller in relationship. What SCOTUS did is a classic case of activist judicial meddling, or legislating from the bench as the Conservatives like to complain about. Why were these laws made? undue influence.

This isn't really about books or movies, this is about whether a Corporation enjoys the same rights as a Citizen. Corporations are NOT Citizens.You don't even have to be a citizen to be corporate member.

it seems to me that GE may be able to make their corporate jets available to Obama next election as result of this ruling. Or maybe to both candidates so that they have access to either one [Big Grin]

try to work within the system to elect people that will get us back to the constitutional values that mean that public service actually means serving the public interest.

the corprate and Union structures allow individuals to do things with other peoples money (and get paid to do it ) that they would never do with their own money;

Alan Greenspan: “I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interest of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such as that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms."

Mr. Greenspan : “Yes, I’ve found a flaw. I don’t know how significant or permanent it is. But I’ve been very distressed by that fact.”

"A flaw in the model that I perceived is the critical functioning structure that defines how the world works.”

"That is precisely the reason I was shocked, because I'd been going for 40 years or more with very considerable evidence that it was working exceptionally well."

Brown Says Daughters 'Available' After Win
Visibly Embarrassed Ayla Corrects Father, Says Arianna Not Single

POSTED: Wednesday, January 20, 2010
UPDATED: 12:17 pm EST January 20, 2010
BOSTON -- Massachusetts Senator-elect Scott Brown told supporters his adult daughters were "available" in an awkward moment during his victory speech Tuesday night.

Brown thanked his daughters, Ayla and Arianna, for their support during his campaign against Democrat Martha Coakley for the late Ted Kennedy's seat before adding "just in case anybody who's watching throughout the country, they're both available."

The crowd roared, Ayla covered her mouth and looked embarrassed and told her dad "Not Arianna."

"No, no, no. Only kidding, only kidding," Brown said. "Arianna is definitely not available, but Ayla is."

Brown then held up the arms of his two daughters, saying "This is Arianna. This is Ayla." before adding "I can see I'm going to get in trouble when I get home."

Do you think this the start of something weird? Even Clinton would have not said anything like that
