“What if the lake could protect itself?”
Well, from all the stories of boat accidents, I’m sure that it has more than enough fire power!

If Lake Erie has the same legal rights as a person, then it’s only a matter of time before someone with a smart lawyer sues the lake over a drowning or boating accident ... and takes possession of all its revenue potential when they win the lawsuit.

Don’t you love liberals? Give a lake “person” status, but deny it to unborn babies. Liberalism really is a mental disorder.”

Yes, but unlike babies, does it have a “right to life” if the lake cannot breathe, move, feel, or think? It can get a lawyer, but not a gun? What pronoun is a lake?

Well if it’s a victim of sexual discrimination at the workplace, it should be afforded all avenues given to humans :)

Are people really this stupid or gullible? Will they feel the same way when jobs are lost, taxes go up, and they lose access or use of the lake?

This is more proof that the left is completely agenda-driven, and couldn’t care less about the means.
They are quick to confer personhood to a lake; all the while fighting against the long-standing legal status of Corporations. The left are champions for the “Corporations are not people”, while Unions are “people”, in their march against Citizens United.

I live on a river that flows into Lake Erie. Does this mean that the citizens of Toledo can sue me if I pee in the river?
This brings up the Michigan-Toledo War of 1835. Michigan fought Ohio over the possession of Toledo. Michigan won! Ohio was stuck with Toledo.
(for all you history buffs, Ohio won. However, in compensation, Michigan was given the Upper Peninsula. We gained "Da UPpers".)
