1. There's already plenty of stuff you're not allowed to sign away, no matter how much more "free" being able to do so might make you. I certainly bristle daily at how un-free I am not being able to sign myself into slavery.
2. OK fine. So we ban corporations from entering into forced arbitration contracts with individuals. You still can. With your neighbor or whoever. You can try with a corporation, but will find that they aren't permitted to. Since we collectively via the power of government conjure corporations from the aether, eff 'em.
