Wait.

You're passing up an opportunity to fuck with the government?

I wish you could transfer it over to me.

I saw some huge trees on the street today. One on Sunset... one about half an hour ago on Los Feliz... several lights out, traffic is all jacked up. I might take the subway tomorrow just in case.

No more corporate personhood in LA, Unanimous

Thanks to ground work by the U.S. Green Party, the wave of Occupy Wall Street empowerment and Human Rights Alert, today, Los Angeles became the first major U.S. city to vote against corporate personhood and call for a Constitutional Amendment asserting corporations are not entitled to constitutional rights and that money is not free speech. The vote was unanimous.

The unanimous vote was witnessed in Council chambers packed by a standing room only crowd of hundreds of people as well as a overflow room filled to capacity by enthusiastic supporters. The resolution was sponsored by City Council President Eric Garcetti and seconded by Council Members Bill Rosendahl and Paul Krekorian with passionate support by Council Members Richard Alarcon,and Paul Koretz.

^ Is that for real? Sounds too good to be true.

[archonemis]

Corporate personhood was never a ruling.

I don't see why it couldn't be simply thought of as exactly what it is:

a mental construct easily dismissed as nonsense.

I guess it's symbolic more than anything else.

[archonemis]

Wall Street is also symbolic.

I'm trying not to be impatient.

"Dissolving" corporate personhood in one city is meaningless - I agree - still, it's a start and I applaud it.

[puppy fields]

I dunno..."Dissolving" corporate personhood would delay the collapse...wouldn't it?
