[nylug-talk] Thanks, I landed somewhere....

Both corporations and unions (not that there's a real difference) are creations of governments.  Artificial enties with the legal "rights" of human beings.  (I'll respect any individual right a that Turing machine or a dolphin wants to stand up and ask for and call them people, in fact I'll grant them the whole suite if they ask for any one).

This is (as usual) my only contribution in this thread.  If I go further, Peter gets annoyed by my anarchist political comments, as he should IMAO.  Any statists who want to argue or fellow freedom types who want to agree bring it private or risk off topicness wrath.
