A person who belongs to a CORPORATION entirely due to a system of GOVERNANCE within that very corporation that has a marked commonality of stature violations where prison in this case would not be an optimal resolvement measure.

A play on PA sexually where it is an older person who belongs to that subclass

Finally, the SQUIRT ASSH0LE is not inside as it is fact .
