We just gotta keep the corporations out of it.

That'd be a good start. Even better if corporations couldn't exist.

See, I often try to take you seriously, then you post stuff like that, and I begin to hate the left. Do you say that glibly, or do you really have no idea how much benefit corporations give us?

No corporations in AC-land either, so it must not just be the left.

1. A body that is granted a charter recognizing it as a separate legal entity having its own rights, privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members.
2. Such a body created for purposes of government. Also called body corporate.
3. A group of people combined into or acting as one body.
4. Informal A protruding abdominal region; a potbelly.

Maybe we should have people realize that corporations are not a bad thing...

I'm going to agree with this so long as you're not trying to imply that AC is the right. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The problem with that definition is that it doesn't go into the details of the "rights, privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members." The flaw with dictionary definitions it they tend to be too terse at times. Those "rights, privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members" are the things that make corporations bad. Those words are vague enough to mean anything, but in the context of corporations, they're actually quite specific.
