The second sentence is something being debated as a result of the Citizen's United ruling, so his essay seems oddly prescient.
> the world is changing and sometimes contradictory
If you think ontologies don't change and will not require constant maintenance I have a bridge to sell you.

- icebraining 11y agoNot particularly prescient; the issue didn't appear with Citizen's United. Back then, there was already a law proposal (the McCain-Feingold bill) to limit spending by corporations and other groups on political ads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McConnell_v._FEC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McConnell_v._FEC
- nickbauman 11y agoMcCain-Feingold is about limiting corporations behaving like citizens. Citizens United is the expansion thereby making the conclusion much more logical today than when it was first written in 2003.
- icebraining 11y agoYes, but I linked to McConnell v. FEC, which was a challenge to McCain-Feingold much like Citizens United v. FEC. The issue was already on the table, the decision just happen to go the other way.
