Comment from the Patent Prospector......
SEPARATION OF BUSINESS AND STATE
I think that we need to amend the original document of self-defense. You see the United States Constitution is nothing more than a delcaration of self-defense against governmental power. The First Amendment is by far one of the most interesting portions of the Constitution. The driving force behind the First Amendment is to prevent theological government. Theological government is a very destructive form of government. In fact we are fighting that form of government throughout the Middle East. However, they pose no real threat to the U.S. Beyond the Middle East issue, the theological government rears its ugly head now and then only to be swatted. Bush 43 was the closest we ever came to the Feds instituting a theologicla government in the U.S. at the Federal level.
However, Corporatocracy has been on the rise ever since the creation of the corporate entity in the mid 19th Century. It poses the greatest risk to democracy: great than the British Crown, Napoleon, Southern Insurrection, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. What we need to stem this tide of destructive power is a proclaimation in our U.S. Consitution mandating the Separation of Business and State.
