Like Jim, I do not have the luxury of blaming strong drink. I laid that stuff down on November 16, 1967. That was the day of my discharge from the army and as I walked out of the Gates at Ft. Dix, I turned and looked and said I am finished with that life. Haven't drank strong drink, or smoked funny cigarettes since. I knew that there was plenty of things to be done and wanted a clear brain to get them done. While I do not know all of Jim's thoughts on corporations, I am sure that we are walking down the same road maybe just a few steps apart. I do believe that people should be able to have a structure where they can pool their money to accomplish a job. I do not believe that they should be shielded from punishment for the decisions they make while so banded together. I do not believe that there should be any business that is shielded by government from the consequences of their actions and should be protected only on the same level as an individual. I do not believe in monopolies or government protected economic territory. Personally, I try my best not to deal with any corporation that is not totally responsive and responsible. The same goes with politicians, political movements and political parties. Or such diverse things as religious movements. Every person or group must be totally responsible for their actions and the consequences there of and should not be able to profit because they got some fool to pass a law saying they are exempt from such responsibility.

I have the luxury of being able to blame blowing off on being drunk and have posted things I have regretted also but I do NOT regret siding with Jim on not liking corporations. They are a way for businesses to disseminate responsibility and lead to insensitive attitudes similar to government. As far as increasing taxes on your home, welcome to the logical result of your progressivism (even though I don't think you are as much of a progressive as you would like to think. You wear it as a vogue like many other relics I remember from college. It stylish to be liberal.).
