Wadda Ya Mean They Want More Secrecy?

Well it isn't bad enough that our Supreme Court gave corporations many of the rights that belong to private individuals last year. Now AT&T wants to be given personal privacy rights as well. I suppose that the next thing they're going to demand is the right to vote too. Last year they got the right to donate pretty much all the money they want to politicians for campaign use. Either by direct campaign donation or through the secret PACs where they can give any amount, secretly. Now they're demanding the right to keep almost everything secret. It's called personal privacy, which is given to private individuals like you and me. So why's that a big deal? There's really only one way to keep an eye on Washington and corporations and that's the right of the public to know what kind of stunts they're trying to pull behind closed doors. Now they do have the right to keep trade secrets, and rightly so. But if they get to keep everything secret, who knows what they'll pull. Oh, I know, you might say I'm crying, the sky is falling, that there's nothing to worry about, that corporations won't do anything they shouldn't do.  Yeah, right. Corporate leaders have never done anything to suggest they can't be completely trusted, right? I for one know they are trustworthy, clean and reverent, but I still want to verify that fact, and that's why the Supreme Court should not give in to AT&T on this one. And, NO, I don't think Corporations should be given the vote either.
