John Oliver had it right -- If Corporations are people, make them die within a human lifespan

He had a rant on his show about Corporate Personhood. In his usual way he made great points in a very funny way.

Basically, he said if corporations are to be people, make them subject to the same pain-in-the-ass limitations that people have to put up with -- including the limited lifespan of humans.
