(930 posts)3. The answer is Yes!
We do.
We always do.
It's what we do.
The rights of artificial entities, created out of thin air, convenient legal fictions...have more say in every facet of our lives than we do.
We created it, all of it.
Perhaps we can do something about it. Overturning Citizens United would be a start.
But only a start.
