    And you're setting up a straw man. I don't think anyone here is saying that corporations shouldn't exist.

    You take "corporations are destroying personal rights" to mean that the existence of a single corporation is harmful to the individual, which very few people agree. A more common and reasonable position is that because of the expanded rights of corporations without expanded responsibility, and their strong influence on government and the courts, the actions of some corporations destroy personal rights.

    I agree that this story probably doesn't belong in YRO... I'm kind of a n00b here, I don't pay much attention to what topic a story pops up in, there's probably a business-related topic it's better suited for, oh well. That doesn't make Slashdot the USSR.
