1. Corporate personhood...
If a person kills a corporation, is it murder and does the death penalty apply? This is absurd.

5. We can't even get it to work the opposite way.
When corporations kill people, they never even get a prison sentence.

4. Is the USA the only country in the world that recognizes corporate personhood? Will the EU tell
Intel to stuff it?
