Citizens United, unrevisited

Well, there you have it! In overturning Montana's sensible century-old restrictions on campaign spending, The Supreme Injustices in Washington have reminded us all, once again, of our basic obligation to be polite and sociable. Next time you drive through a suburban business strip, remember to pay Ms. Dairy Queen the same kind of courtesy you'd extend to any other friend; tip your hat or wave and call out "Hello, dear!" When you travel through Mr. Weyerhaeuser's Oregon property, remember to give a little beep of the horn, and yell: "Thanks for letting me drive on your (18,000 acre) front lawn, Mr. Weyerhaeuser!" Corporations ARE people, my friend. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/26/opinion/the-court-citizens-united.html?_r=1&ref=opinion
