Subject: BS: The victim is always guilty
It was their choice...
You signed the cell phone contract...
The victim was in the wrong place...
The first ammendment does not apply to our customers...
Proper safety procedures and precautions were not taken...
They had a bad reaction to the drug...
It was water damage, so you're not covered by insurance...
We can raise your interest rate for any reason at any time...

Regulations to maintain the comfort and safety of our consumers would cost our customers dearly in the pocket book and make things much worse. (airline industry statement re: Customer bill of rights)


I suspect all the noise blaming victims comes from people and corporations who save money by having no or little liability for their actions.

I think we need a new word and definition for victimhood. The Power/Money that be, have already defiled the words liberal, union, regulation and even the DemoCRAT party.

As a society I see the notion that victims are to blame is gaining traction.

I was reminded of this when I was blamed for the destruction of much of my art by my internet provider. Everyone assumes that backing up was my fault when in fact I have all sorts of back up while the construction and unifictaion of pictures to text was smashed to pieces. Putting a broken chandelier back together even if you have all the pieces is possible.

No matter who you are, if you are a victim, you are screwed.

On the other hand there have been regulations to help victims that have been grossly misused by lawyers as in the case of asbestos lung damage.

Whenever we see compassion for victims it is a big human interest story like someone returning found cash. I think society throws victims into the loser bin. Victims are somehow not smart enough to evade danger or persecution.

Just ask MOST Katrina victims. They were even stripped of citizenship by being called refugees.




Name your victims:

name any global warming victim?

24,000 French elderly who died during a 6 day heat wave.


name US torture victims.

1,900 US military personell who became radiation exposure test subjects. (My sister was one of these. The results are too grumsome to repeat here.)

500 Tuskegee sphyillus test subjects, 200 retarded children from NE orphanages San Francisco germ warfare experiements...etc.

again I suspect all the noise blaming victims comes from people and corporations who save money by having no or little liability for their actions. I think we need a new word and definition for victimhood. The Power/Money that be, have already defiled the words liberal, union, regulation and even the DemoCRAT party.


My short list of corporations that create victims:
credit card companies
drug companies
weapon companies
Phillip Morris
Repulican think tanks (thinking up new victims)
