I think that, since corporations want to play at being people, we should arrest them every time they make another company go out of business. After all, isn't that murder by any other name?

It's like this:

A corporation is born when it is created.

A corporation lives, grows, and eats.

A corporation can die also.

When one corporation uses an idea that another corporation says it owns - it is considered stealing.

The only thing corporations don't want to face up to - is when it kills another business. I think that, given that corporations want to be treated as people, we should not hold back on any of the aspects that a regular person has to face. Especially rape, robbery, and murder. Rape is by forcing another company to submit to your way of doing something. Robbery is taking something by force or stealth. Murder is by removing the other company so it no longer exists.

I LIKE companies to be treated as fellow human beings for these very reasons. What is called competition by them, when taken too far, becomes something else totally different.

Want to know how to kill a company? Keep diverting its attention from making money by throwing one lawsuit after another at it. That is how you kill it. Want to get rid of, say, Microsoft? File lawsuits in every state in the nation at the same time. Or every country around the world. All of their hard earned money will be spent trying to take care of all of them. Do it long enough (and not as a class action suit so they can lump them together) and they will just collapse under the weight of all of those lawsuits. :-)

Take something of theirs which doesn't work, file a claim in small claims court, ask for triple damages under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (because they said it would work and it didn't) and they are out three times the value of what you paid for it.
Enjoy!
