If thinking people aren't people when they do things in the name of a company means being a 'nut', then I'll happily be a nut haha.

No, I was going about a certain US legal idiocy here. There companies have certain people's rights.

That would have been one option. Still they decided to not to - and build their own government. Out of their free will.

There are certain conditions. You have 3 options:

• you can accept them
• you can try to change them
• or you can run away from them
