    For corporations, no. Only the original creator should be given that privilege, if it is to be granted at all. Once he's gone, boom! Into the public domain it goes.

    And have mommy bring you more Doritos while you play WoW in the basement:

    Mommy is in another galaxy far far away, and I really don't have the talent to play anything more complex than Pong. And my house doesn't have a basement. I have to sit outside! On the patio! With a bunch of flowery plants and noisy animals flying around crapping on my keyboard, yuck! Do you have any idea what that's like?!

    I have a simple message. Don't pollute. Hardly merits all the criticism it gets. But without a profit motive, it means shit. Business will always come first.

    This is just one more reason we need to make quite sure that there's bipartisan opposition to this.

    That cannot happen until a whole different class of person is elected into congress. With this bunch, passage is a sure thing.

    Nobody cares about the climate, aside from the opportunities each disaster presents. In business, profit is the prime, if not the only, motive to be in business at all. Just make it more profitable to be clean.

    The Hillary voters are going to still vote for her. It doesn't matter what she does. For those of us who will vote for somebody else, eh, no big deal... Just don't give her the job, and forget about her. And besides, the gig she is after is Kissinger's spot. He's ready to buy the farm any second now. There's much more, longer lasting power there, and she won't have to answer to anybody.

    Unfortunately, yes... It should be obvious. Lots of people are going to vote for her regardless... There's not a lot that be done. Maybe, if we can wake up the non-voting block, it might be possible to defeat democrats and republicans. Even together they are a minority block of less than 40%.

    Actually you are wagging the dog. The state is set up by the corporation to serve its interests. It takes a lot of money to put it all together, and politician who doesn't comply will lose all financial support, or worse. Napoleon's power didn't come from the wretched.

    I oppose corporations (and unions) from contributing to political causes, either directly or indirectly.

    You shouldn't. It's interfering. Just don't vote for people who take their money, and the problem is solved.

    The problem is, there is too much money involved in the politics of killing off corporations.

    That sounds more like your typical libertarian poutrage than any kind of truth. Nobody's trying to *kill off corporations*. We only want them to abide by the same rules the rest of us are under. The real problem is that we allow them too much authority over our governments.

    It's an attempt to balance the scales. Add up all the capital each side has. The one with the most wins. Thousands of workers have to pool resources to add up to one CEO. What is unfortunate is the the workers 'CEO' (union boss) is just as corrupt as any corporate/government boss. Every institution falls into the same trap.
