And don’t forget the whole sorry SuperPAC saga.

Some people want to extend “people” rights to animals and even places of
special cultural significance.

All very well, except that remember, flesh-and-blood human people don’t
just have rights, they also have responsibilities. If you want to grant
“people” rights to these nonhuman entities, shouldn’t they be obliged to
accept “people” responsibilities as well?

Unless, well, there is one sort of human people that has rights with few
or no responsibilities: children.
