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. <br>
<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>

Best Wishes, <br>
