Equal RightsJudging from your article, it is from a polemical standpoint interesting and ironic and telling that, while the idea of giving an "abstraction" like nature/the natural world/the fundamental basis of our existence a vague and wishy-washy selection of pared down "rights" is a somewhat touchy subject, at the same time giving rights of legal/virtual/actual personhood to the abstraction of a "corporation" is a now century-long established practice.

hopefully an environmental bill of rights will take the walk a smidgen higher at least.
