I think both I and Mr. Greenwald understand what a corporation is. Let me describe it in another way from you, even though I don't think your description is wrong. Is it a free collection of citizens arranged for a specific end. For instance, the ACLU is a corporation. Are we going to start staying that only certain groups of freely gathered citizens are allowed protection under the law? Are we going to start writing different sections of laws for different factions of people? I can honestly say this is the WORST idea we could have to amend the constitution in this way. This is the same kind of logic that denies voting rights to minorities, and to women, or to Catholics. Specifically limiting certain groups participation is censorship of the worst kind, it is also forbidden by the constitution, see Article I, Section 9.

And @dystopianfuturetoday, if money isn't speech, then isn't there no problem? I mean, no "group" has vocal cords persay, but factions are things we all are a part of. How is a political faction, or a family faction, or a business faction, or a religion faction any different? The ALCU isn't that much different than IBM computers, or the Church of Christ in the way the carry out their actions. They are groups of freely gathered people with common aim to achieve certain goals, and as such, have a right to freely petition the government in the affairs that concern them collectively. I don't see how collective spending is any more of less evil that individual spending. If you aren't free to petition the government as a certain faction because some other faction has successfully lobbied your legal pacification, then far have we fallen from what was supposed to be the thrust of the 10th federalist paper.

Not to say that I don't support some form of campaign finance reform of sorts, but I do not agree with the legal notion of denying people the ability to do with what they own they like; spare it harm someone else, because some other group doesn't like you...it is horrible and reeks of the worst kind of oppression.

Believe me Mr Dirt, I find all those subsidy and bail outs abominable, just as I found those terrorists on 911. But I will not permit anyone to pass a new sort of patriot act against the rich that really is attacking us all in the end. I say this not as a rich man, but one whom exists in poverty.

(crap, misclick on the upvote, sorry dirt )

This isn't an issue of speech, it's an issue of campaign finance. Corporations don't have vocal cords and corporatists don't have any special limitations on what they can say in public. The fact that anyone even takes the money = speech argument seriously is evidence of how beaten and broken our political culture has become.

Of course his voice is deep,.....Those huge balls apply downward force to his vocal cords and cause the pitch of his voice to lower.

Lots of women sound like that giving birth. A good midwife, however, will get her to change the pitch of the scream. A deeper, lower pitch will be a much more effective use of her vocal cords, both to relieve pain and also help open the cervix. You can also tell by the scream, how close she is to getting ready to push. A really grunty, low scream is when she's feeling pushy.

Women in labour need to know there's nothing wrong with making lots of noise. Someone needs to tell them, though that the deeper the noise, the better.

BTW all the judgement in this thread about what a wus this girl is, along with all the assumptions about what kind of a person she is, based on this, is really lame.

There aren't many people I hate more than Kevin Trudeau. How can someone lie like that to so many sick and desperate people? I'd like to gouge out his vocal cords with a rusty iron knife. When he gets tetanus, let's see if he has a natural cure for that.

god this dog must have lost any kind of vocal cords he ever had..
