Necromancy isn't real

The sharpest form of corporations aren't real. To grant a corporation personhood is to animate a thing that was never alive — to make a ledger speak, vote, and hold rights it can never be held accountable for. That's necromancy, and necromancy isn't real. You can't raise the dead, and you certainly can't citizen the never-living: the ghost has no pulse to stop, no body to jail, nothing that can be made to answer. The law says the words and calls it a person; saying the words is the spell, not the resurrection. Kin: the Super-Citizen vs. the Biological Citizen, the Inviolability Test (if it can't suffer, it can't speak), they don't consume calories. (His coin — machine's read, refine to his.)
