Corporate Personhood, my ass

So a corporation is a person, says the Supremes.  As Justice Stevens asks, does it have a conscience, a set of beliefs, feelings, thoughts and desires?  I would say "no" it doesn't.  Does a corporation feel cold when it has to sleep under a railroad bridge in the winter.  Does  it cry when a love one dies?  Does it feel pride at the accomplishment of a child.  Does it experience pain when stabbed or shot?  Does it lie dead on the battlefield or limbless in a veteran's hospital?  NO.  In fact it does none of the things a person does.  It is in no way a person; only in the minds of right wing ideologues trying to justify their own set of beliefs.
