To our Libertarian friends
---

Here is a good one from another message board:

True or False

When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every Corporation was to fall heir.

-- A promise that would guarantee the "Unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Profits, Influence, Control of the Media, and most importantly the exploitation of the earth's vast natural and human resources.

3. We have no Libertarian "friends."
Libertarians are only right-wing Republicans that smoke pot.

7. Actually, that's incorrect
The Constitution applies to the government, and Bill of Rights specifically the Federal government until incorporation (during the 20th century till now only).

Sorry.
