Welcome to IWETHEY!

New What the week's rulings taught us.
Corporate speech is "more protected" than individual speech. It would take a Hoosier on the bench for that conclusion to make sense. What disgusts me most is that there is no outrage to the fact that in the same week the USSC chilled free speech rights for citizens and expanded them for corporations.

New Depends on exactly what is meant by "corporate"
after all, strictly speaking corporate means together. That right now it's mostly used as shorthand to describe a certain type of business entity (the limited liability corporation) doesn't mean that it's not properly applied to other collections of human beings.
New Heh.
groups of all sorts can raise money

Yes, Pollyanna. And wealth in this country is soooooooooooooooo evenly and equitably distributed, all's fair, right?

New It's a fine line between naive wishfulness and gullibility.
But either way: you get to be led by the likes of a Cheney-Shrub; Icons to Look UpTo.

Apparently, after some population number N is reached:
you can simply write a script - and make everybody Feel Successful.
Long enough to ~'vote', anyway. (No longer is Soma needed in the water supply.)

I aver that we are quite past N and the scripts are now, er Turing complete?

New There's still a bit of hope...
