:What you fail to understand is that a corporation as a legal entity has the same basic rights you do as a human citizen. This is why crap like this gets going and goes on and on.
If the corporation didn't have the same rights we do, they wouldn't get away with half the crap they do because they wouldn't have the legal rights they hide behind.
Actually, corporations have more actual legal rights than the common citizens of an area. We have seen that out here in several areas. It boils down to the corporations having access to more money to pay for lawyers that a city does not. A city has to raise taxes and is more accountable (your area may differ), a corporation just charges you a half cent more spread over a much larger area to pay for the costs of lawsuits and bribes.
