The recent Koch Brother's-approved Supreme Court ruling that corporations are people has opened the door to the likelihood of incredible misuse of rights by corporations, against human beings and the environment. This artificial construct gives corporations, whose only legal mandate is to make profits, the same rights as human beings, who are harnessed with legal and moral responsibilities unknown to corporations.
This opens the conversation to the question of whether human beings are more closely associated with corporations or the environment. Consider that corporations, with the support of the US government, use eminent domain as a means of taking property owned by human beings. The healthy and functional human being often establishes a relationship with the natural environment in the form of home creation, gardening, and social attachments. How can the US government declare this lifestyle unimportant when a corporation requests seizure of the property (environment) of the family?
If the US Supreme Court, too closely aligned with the wishes of the Koch Brothers, put their thumb on the justice scales and encourage a ruling that human beings are corporate resources, how will that change human rights? Can this happen? If the US Supreme Court ruled corporations are people, any other ruling shouldn't be a surprise.
NYS is considering whether fracking should be allowed in peaceful and long-established communities. Fracking will create a dramatically different lifestyle that will include ubiquitous industrialization of a rural region. The NYS government says they will make their decision based on science while they ignore the scientific findings of medical doctors and other scientists regarding the impact on environment and human beings.
In Sioux Falls, S. D., Rodney Bordeaux, president of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, says "A lot of our people who practice our way of life go there to pray and there are a lot of us that go up there." This in regard to nearly 2,000 acres of a ranch known as Reynolds Prairie, which encompasses a sacred site known as Pe'Sla to Native American tribes that once lived in the Black Hills. This region is going up for auction on August 25.
We know the US government broke a treaty with the Sioux Tribe that stated this land belonged to them, when gold was discovered in the Black Hills. This crime has been ignored, and when this region is sold on August 25, it may be opened to the insults of development and access by the tribe will be gone.
The human being living a fully human life will understand the fact of relationship to environment. Human beings and environment cannot be separated without the unnatural and unhealthy presumption of government/corporation.
The Rosebud Sioux Tribe retains the fully human understanding of the relationship between natural environment and human beings. This simple truth is described by them as sacred.
If human beings as the general public don't connect with this simple truth, what will stop the Koch Brothers influenced Supreme Court from ruling Corporations are human beings? The answer is that this would mitigate the power of Corporations by suggesting human responsibilities for Corporations. The current status of Corporations as people is perfect for their only legal mandate of making profits.
However, human beings still have the opportunity to align themselves with their natural environment instead of government/corporations, which will help to sustain a sense of the sacred.
