That's not what I said. I said that corporations are nothing more than
individuals just like you. Note the plural. What makes up a corporation.
Uhm, individual human beings. When people say "Corporations do this" and
"Corporations do that" they are demonizing an entity which is, at the very
core, made up of and run by people just like them. To question why certain
decisions are made by "corporations" while ignoring that people make the same
decisions, is to show a monumental amount of ignorance.
The same is true of "the government" and "the community" and other such
collective groupings of individual people. It is also part of the problem
because for some reason I cannot fathom reasonable people who would not
otherwise capitulate to individual peers somehow feel it is reasonable, and in
fact, expected to capitulate to a group of those very same peers because now
they're a "community" or "the government" yet not when that same group of
peers is "a corporation".
