I understand the problem with recognizing corporations as having the rights of persons: I'm exceedingly frustrated that this has been given with no concomitant requirement for responsibility. I of a mind that the rights should be rescinded and the responsibilities still be required.
The argument that's been given to me is that as long as liberty is guaranteed, we can get as much privacy as we are able to legislate. I don't believe that, but I think it is the general idea behind a constitution that solely defines the role of the government, as opposed to citizens or (and this is where it goes wrong) government sanctioned artificial legal entities. I don't care for the fact that our government can pay the phone company to store all of our phone records until they need them. And then they get a warrant to look at them.
And finally, yes, preventing genocide is a perfectly good reason to enumerate a specific human right. I hope it works.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question.
]]>You believe that a person's privacy should be constitutionally protected from other than government intrusion? Here in the United States, we could make corporate intrusions of our privacy illegal, if we wanted to. We should probably put some thought into why we haven't (or where we have, why we don't enforce the laws we do have).
If this is derailing your comment section feel free to moderate it out.
