more people stuff mr bush

Since a "legal fiction" can't be put in jail, there has to be someone that the government can ultimately hold accountable for wrongdoing. So what is the definition of "person" for crimes? Most criminal statutes will read similar to this:Person - The term ''person'' as used in this chapter includes an officer or employee of a corporation, or a member or employee of a partnership, who as such officer, employee, or member is under a duty to perform the act in respect of which the violation occurs.Ah...so when a real-live-flesh-and-blood person (referred to by lawyers as a "natural person") is held accountable for criminal non-compliance with the law, he is held accountable only in his capacity as the officer or employee, under a duty to perform, on behalf of the corporate "legal fiction".http://www.outlawslegal.com/freedom/personed.htm
