John Deere was screwing with hacker farmers a while back. Corporations are citizens now.

Funny you should mention that, I pulled this out of an August Car & Driver magazine at the doctors on Thursday.
Picture you're in the middle of a harvest, trucks are lined up to haul your crop to the railroad who has a whole train waiting on the siding with locomotive idling. A storm front is threatening to cover the crop with sleet. Radar is picking up a hoard of locusts three miles wide bearing down on your field. John Deere says we'll send a tech out next thursday. Oh Deere.

Universal suffrage. Corporations also must have the right to vote.

No taxation without representation. Those corporate executives will soon be marching in the streets (only because corporations don't have any legs to stand on).
