''The Supreme Court says a corporation is a person, or at least must be treated like one when it comes to most constitutional protections.

These protections include the right to speak and the right to act in the political arena -- giving campaign contributions, lobbying, and advocating its agenda.

Now, if a corporation is in fact a person, with full constitutional rights, then it should act like a moral human person.

And what is the fundamental basis of morality? Caring about others.

So, a corporation, to act like a moral human person, is going to have to care about others, not just about its own bottom line.

It is going to have to care about its human compatriots.

But the vast majority of major corporations don't give a damn about their fellow persons. As such, they are immoral -- or amoral -- to the core.''
