But if you don't believe that corporations can and have used police and/or threat to life or limb, then you don't have all the facts yet. <_Jym_> ._________________________________________________________. .__!

I think that large unions are currently more of a threat than corporate monopolies. This is because the unions are supported by law, and the monopolies are outlawed. As someone else pointed out, you should either allow both, or outlaw both.
