Mother Jones has a piece up with an excellent legal history of how we have gotten to this ridiculous point in our history. I strongly recommend the article. We need to stop this trend. If a company seeks the protections of the corporate veil they should be prohibited from asserting the rights of an individual. I guess as an alternative we could all become corporations?
We should begin an ALEC like project of model legislation restricting the "rights " of corporations and start in Deleware.
