That was a great read, B-zona. :andy: :andy:

“Civil Rights of Corporations.” Indeed, in a feat of deceitful legal alchemy, Southern Pacific and its wily legal team had, with the help of an audacious Supreme Court justice, set up the Fourteenth Amendment to be more of a bulwark for the rights of businesses than the rights of minorities.

Well corporations can merge which is basically a marriage and they can spin off subsidiaries which are kinda like children. There are also companies that have taken over jobs that the military used to do for itself such as providing security and logistics so in a sense they do serve in the military. Just saying.
