The number of rights God grants human beings, times the number of human beings.
That^, my argument reasoned, is the number of rights on the planet at any moment in time. The only way to give corporations rights, therefore, is to first take those rights from humans.
I stand by that argument. Most of the board's rat wingers argued against me. Not gonna name any names, because I don't know @Huey's name. The arguments he made against me were just EMBARRASING. Lucky for him, they are gone with the wind.
Clem, of course, likewise pandered for wall street.
Rights must be finite, since it takes energy and focus to provide and protect them. If everyone is hellbent on defending the rights of corporations, human rights will decrease sharply
