1. If you pay attention

you'll notice that corporate personhood is an enabler for many of the evils in our society.

2. And it all rests on some court decision

When was that? 1870's or something?

5. Thom Hartmann wrote a book exposing that decision

I can't recall the title, but you'd find it at amazon. He discovered that no one had actually gone and taken a look at the actual decision in question, everyone just cited someone who had cited it before. So he went and looked up the decision, and it turned out that it didn't say AT ALL what we've been told it says, i.e. that it establishes corporations as "artificial" persons with rights on a par with those of citizens. The decision never said that!

3. What if

Everyone who knew they were working for a dirty bastard just up and quit their damn job?

Who would Halliburton send to Iraq if all their employees quit on moral issues? Sooner or later, they would be left with only equally corrupt employees sure to destroy the company from within.

It is time for the sheeple to rise up and QUIT.

FYI: I am a single mom and did quit my work for a corrupt organization. And yes, it was inconvenient and povery sucked, but I got over it and MY how much better I feel now. Sacrificing to quit was a price worth paying.
