How about understanding that a "corporate person" is a legal
fiction limiting
liability of the actual persons involved in that corporation. That however is
not guaranteed ... as has been learned by several "robber barons"
who went bust
or ripped off their patrons.

A corporate person is not the same as a human person as addressed in "We the
People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our
Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of
America."

And thus should not be guaranteed the protections granted to individual human
citizens ... especially since a corporation cannot be a citizen, is not
eligible to vote (altho with the recent mis-guided decision of the supremes it
may be able to buy votes), and cannot be elected to office. 

ENJOY!!!
