I'm still not sure why ownership without responsibility is regarded
as a good thing, here. Why should we contort the legal system to
reward owner negligence? Rather, let the owners own, and investors
own shares of profit, instead of the company itself. This still
protects those who invest, and doesn't create an exception for
certain kinds of owners of property.
