136. The protesting is more about Money Equals Speech. And corpulent corporations being individual puny
people. The equivalencies.

The Exxon Corporation = The Nature Conservancy = Little Old Me

equivalencies that are laughable.

I have not seen anyone saying all must be totally limited. I see people freaking out because our national discourse is already so heavily dominated by corporate PR that they can't envision any need whatsoever to increase the corporate dominance, yet the Bush v Gore initiated Supreme Court has decide the sector with multi-billions needs more freedom to conquer.

We know "free speech" does not equal Purchased Privatized Speech. Curbing corporate power allows much weaker voices to be heard. And has done so for many decades.
