My daughter pointed out a couple locations that might have a Starbucks inside, but there were no Starbucks "stores" in the area that she was aware of.

The girl responded that she had been hanging out at Occupy LA and "really needed a Starbucks and some free wifi."

I guess the corporations are not all bad.
You have missed the point... they are not saying corporations are bad... they are saying that corporate interests have overtaken our government and that corporations should not be given personhood... if corporations are made of people why do they need an extra right that the average person doesn't have? I see no good reason why corporations should be allowed to participate in campaign funding anymore than a union should. All "extra" rights by unions and corporations should be prohibited.
