[GPSCC-chat] Amendment Name/Feedback

[Spencer Graves]

       I'm with Drew on this:  If this amendment passes, nothing will 
change immediately.  They major corporations will still fight tooth and 
claw to minimize the impact of the changes.  The difference is that 
rather than them working with our current reactionary courts to give 
them even more power over natural persons, they will be on the 
defensive.  Even then, it could take massive amounts of money from 
private citizens to pay for the litigation required to enforce the changes.


       You are doubtless correct about one point in this, however, 
namely that the large corporations will eagerly use their powers to try 
to limit the power of small businesses while not limiting the large 
ones.  With the wording of this amendment, it will be hard for them to 
find ways to do that, but they doubtless will try -- and the commercial 
media (especially broadcasting) will support them at every turn.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer

"What makes an airplane fly?"  Answer:  Money.
