Implications of the US Supreme Court Decision to Grant "Personhood" to Corporations
Not to carry on too far on this subject of the US Supreme Court’s decision to empower corporations with the rights of real persons, but I’ve begun to realize how truly intractable the problem is, and why: virtually no one knows about it. My mother, who reads the New York Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer every day of the week, wasn’t exactly sure what I was talking about when we discussed this on the phone a few minutes ago. David Cobb, the attorney who gave the lecture that I attended on the subject last Sunday, says he’s had no coverage whatsoever from the mainstream (corporate-owned) media. Of course, this isn’t at all surprising, but it creates an incredibly difficult condition to overcome.
