Re: John Ross and Los de Abajo
John Ross shared a lot of nuggets of information. Once
when he came to Portland we talked about Mexican
politicians and I mentioned Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador,
AMLO for short.
"Know what they call Felipe Calderon?" he asked.
"No," I said.
John grinned. "FeCal."

Re: System Failure? Look Upstream

Nothing could be more obvious, but the reality is that
unless publicly funded elections becomes the law of the
land, earmarks are removed fromall legislation, and the
grotesque influence of industrial lobbyists can be
completely stricken from any elected office, the
aforementioned systemic pathologies referred to in the
article will never be resolved.
 
Do you have an answer for that?

NABI LAW REVIEW 

 THIS JOURNAL is the first to recognize the rich potential
that lies in the logical syllogism: if corporations are
persons, then persons are corporations and are entitled
to all the rights thereof:

1.    Depreciation allowance for all their anatomical
equipment.

2.    The right to regulate their own behavior and to
report any infractions they may have committed such as
polluting their neighborhoods.

3.The right to negotiate settlements without admitting
wrong doing for     any deaths they may have caused, and
to pay symbolic fines along with a promise not to do it
again by 2020.The Serial Killers' Insurance Trust is
especially interested in this aspect.

4. The right to petition for retroactive decriminalization
of past actions, and the right to defend themselves from
all accusations on the grounds that these actions may be
decriminalized in the future.

5.The protection of proprietary information pertaining to:
income from illegal activities, the composition of their
DNA, and their stocks of taboo words.

6.The right to reorganize under another name, abolishing
all previous obligations.

7.The right to merge with entities of the same or
different sex.

8.      The right to register in the Cayman Islands or any
other country without relinquishing any rights as a bona
fide American corporation.

9.    The right to acquire their own personal lobbyists
who can then be made police superintendents in the Great
American Revolving Door.

10.Access to the Vice President for confidential meetings.

11. Tax breaks for continuing to live in their present
abode.  

Only in America-- anyone can become a corporation and
realize the American Dream.
