PERSONHOOD
Then
all that has divided us will merge
And then compassion will be wedded to power
And then softness will come to a world that is harsh and
unkind
And then both men and women will be gentle
And then both women and men will be strong
And then no person will be subject to another's will
And then all will be rich and free and varied
And then the greed of some will give way to the needs of
many
And then all will share equally in the earth's abundance
And then all will care for the sick and the weak and the
old
And then all will nourish the young
And then all will cherish life's creatures
And then all will live in harmony with each other and with
the earth
And everywhere will be called Eden, once again.
-- Judy Chicago
...corporate
personhood is a real scandal...the meaning of the
14th Amendment was expanded so that 'person' included
corporations, and over the years corporations have
gotten rights that are way beyond those of persons
of flesh and blood...there's plenty of anti-corporate
feeling in the country but it's unfocused... a constitutional
amendment would be a great idea... there has to
be a lot of organizing and educational work to build
up a major groundwell of support which will call
for restoring the 14th Amendment to what the words
say...the idea that a corporation should be given
personal rights is a major attack on classical liberal
doctrines which held that rights inhere in 'persons'
- persons of flesh and blood, not collectivist legal
entities established by state power...

Homophobia
is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of
bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group
of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and
personhood."

I
still do not understand how a corporation can have person-hood
if it has no soul and never dies.
