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...
-- Noam Chomsky

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."
-- Coretta Scott King

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