Must Click of the Day. I'm mulling a longer written piece on a particular bit of cognitive dissonance practiced by the Right that's been bothering me, but it's not fully formed yet. But my basic thesis is that corporate personhood is inconsistent with the conservative fetish for Rugged Individualism. If you want to embrace an Individualist philosophy because you like paying lower taxes that's cool, but then you should also be working to undo corporate personhood so individuals who fzck up are held responsible accordingly, yes? Right now what they want, and what they mostly get, from our stupid legal system, is most of the benefits and none of the drawbacks of Individualism/Populism/Whathaveyou. All I'm asking is a little consistency in the douchitude.
