DON’T GET SCAMMED! TWELVE CLASSIC CONS TO AVOID.

We’ve all made bad investments before. Something sounds like a great idea, you’re so excited, and then, uh, it doesn’t work out. It is common to feel shame when you’ve made a bad call. Shame is a powerful emotion. You don’t want to tell anyone. You’re embarrassed. Everything feels murky. You’re confused about
what went wrong. You don’t want people to know. And that, my friends, is why con artists thrive. 

WHY DO CORPORATIONS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN RIVERS?

This is a fascinating question. The most fascinating thing about it is the way my mind reacts to it. Why, I have to ask myself, am I so annoyed by this question? “Don't you know,” my mind answers as my eyes roll, “that corporations are groups of people and rivers are simply property?” I have this reaction because, as a lawyer, I am particularly indoctrinated into our current system of laws, but there is more to it than a simple legal answer, isn't there? There is pain. Laws protecting the rights of corporations have allowed them to destroy rivers.
