Do corporations ...Are corporations really persons?<br /><br />Do corporations think?<br /><br />Do corporations grieve when a loved one dies as a result of a lack of adequate health care?<br /><br />If a corporation ever committed an unspeakable crime against the American people, could IT be sent to federal prison? (Note the operative word here: "It")<br /><br />Has a corporation ever given its life for its country?<br /><br />Has a corporation ever been killed in an accident as the result of a design flaw in the automobile it was driving?<br /><br />Has a corporation ever written a novel that inspired millions?<br /><br />Has a corporation ever risked its life by climbing a ladder to save a child from a burning house?<br /><br />Has a corporation ever won an Oscar? Or an Emmy? Or the Nobel Peace Prize? Or the Pulitzer Prize in Biography?<br /><br />Has a corporation ever been shot and killed by someone who was using an illegal and unregistered gun?<br /><br />Has a corporation ever paused to reflect upon the simple beauty of an autumn sunset or a brilliant winter moon rising on the horizon?<br /><br />If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise if there are no corporations there to hear it?<br /><br />Should corporations kiss on the first date?<br /><br />Our lives - yours and mine - have more worth than any goddamned corporation. To say that the Supreme Court made a awful decision on Thursday is an understatement. Not only is it an obscene ruling - it's an insult to our humanity.<br /><br />http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com <br /><br />Tom Degan<br />Goshen, NYTom Deganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911175264811957550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612445.post-26083649500902855292010-01-23T12:23:50.697-06:002010-01-23T12:23:50.697-06:00Well this explains alot. Michael, you're livi...Well this explains alot. Michael, you're living proof of my definition of photojournalism: the best of art & reportage combined!<br /><br />You have got a gift, which I call "The Eye." I can't define it, but I know it when I see it. I hope you explore it.Mark Andrewsnoreply@blogger.com
