A SOCIALIST AT HEART My Daughter’s Boy Friend

Don’t know how to talk about this.  My daughter says she’s keeping company with a corporation.  It’s a nice enough corporation, mind you, a maker of machine tools from Ohio.

Now I’m trying to be a good dad and a good American here.  I know the US Supreme Court says these corporations should be treated just like ordinary people.  They are people, right?  The Supreme Court says so.  I’m trying to treat my daughter right, trying not to be prejudiced, but I’m thinking there’s just something wrong about the whole thing.

What I worry about is what if my daughter’s boy friend, this small corporation from Ohio, starts feeling big for his britches?  What then?  Does he/she/it (don’t have the faintest which) drop my American daughter and  run off to Dubai?  What if he outsources all his machine tool making to Bangladesh, how’s the daughter going to feel then?

Well, you can see that this might go very badly.  Heaven forfend there should be children involved.  What do you think?  I’m guessing that I’ll try to be supportive of my daughter, maybe not so much for Mr. corporate boy friend.

What do you think?  Do you want your children consorting with corporations?  I’m thinking you’ll get more grandchildren if the kids stick to dating real people.

DISCLAIMER:  This is not really about any of my daughters.  None of them are dumb enough to fall for that corporation as person ruse.  Just having a little not too gentle fun - poking at the ridiculousness of some recent Supreme Court decisions,
