No limit on stupid
Davidson had a philosophy professor during my time there whose name now escapes me through the fog of age and dead brain cells.
But he assigned BladeRunner a as a philosophy topic. Discussing what it means to be human, based on reading we had done throughout the semester, we were to analyze whether or not a replicant was human and should have human rights.
It was interesting.

I honestly think we will all be wrestling with the issue before too long. BTW for the non SF buffs, Blade Runner is the movie version of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.Wildcat92 wrote:Davidson had a philosophy professor during my time there whose name now escapes me through the fog of age and dead brain cells.

It is a very interesting case, take a look at it and we can discuss it via PM if you like.

Do you mean, allow corporations to be sued, but not as persons, or do not allow corporations to be sued?Ursa Midmajor wrote:I have an idea. Don't count corporations as persons for sake of the First Amendment, but eliminate corporate taxation, and don't allow them to be sued as persons.
