and yet, it sort of haz been. looking at the list of all the shit bush has gotten away with, it's hard for me to accept that we're, in truth and not just in name, a "constitutional democracy." i know we're not in full on nazi mode here, but for too many, their constitutional rights have been taken away. start with gitmo, and all the way thru FISA, and it's actually a long list of us who haven't enjoyed full constitutional rights for a while now.

My daughter, bless her, saw a film in her public (!) high school government class about the arrests made after 9/11 (remember Ashcroft's sweep of all "Muslim looking people"?). She was outraged. Told the Lovely Wife and I that she hates US history, because so much of it is about screwing people over (the natives, slaves, violating civil rights, detaining people without arrest, warrants, reason; imprisoning them in solitary confinement, etc., etc., etc.).
She's such a good kid.

That would work if (1) all outstanding shares added up to a controlling interest and (2) they were available for purchase.

Actually, I believe it can be done as an issuance of more stock shares. Says there's $3b in capital in 1b shares. If they want $6b more, they issue $6b more shares, diluting the voting power of the original shareholders by 2/3s.
For real rightwing head pyrotecnics, hand the shares to the Autoworkes Union for voting purposes.
