This is so true. In fact I’d go so far as to say that instead of “by and for the people” our government is now by and for the corporation. Perhaps people should be allowed the same marriage rights as the merger rights that corporations have. Or there should only be civil unions, no “marriage” for anyone — if the term “marriage” is owned by the churches rather than the citizenry. No religious doctrine should govern civil law.

It seems to me sometimes that we live in a theocracy, and that Money is God. Certainly not the people, to live as we love and to be who we most want to be. Our better natures seem too often to be undermined in order for us to better serve the economy, which too often fails to serve us.
