Do corporations rule the world? Pretty much. Are corporations people? No way! When a corporation gets returned in a body bag, then maybe. Corporations are created to make profits for…
In America, slavery appears legal under the Republicans, who believe they have not only the divine right, privilege and entitlement, but duty and authority to deny Americans free, self-governing citizenship…
