Daily Kos: Corporate Personhood and Slavery - http://www.dailykos.com/story...
"It is perfectly clear that corporations are held as the property of their owners. Thus, the full doctrine of corporate personhood suggests that the next civil rights struggle must be to free corporations from ownership by private individuals." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet
"Of course, it is also perfectly clear that corporations are not competent to exercise many of the rights that are inherent in natural personhood. This suggests that after the liberation of corporations from private ownership, they must become wards of the state. This is identical to the situation of orphaned children who have no natural relatives who can undertake their supervision and education." - Andrew C (✓)
"Of course, it would also be possible to just recognize that a corporation is a legal fiction used by our society to organize certain types of activities and are entitled to exactly the rights and responsibilities that democratic governments grant them. Nah, that would be too simple." - Andrew C (✓)
