Some Words Have This Odor About Them
Category: In Your Face
We all link music and art, but only a tiny minority of us is aware of the crossover of senses in our brains, according to a UCL (University College London) neuroscientist, speaking today at the BA Festival of Science. New research has found that vision and hearing are inextricably interlinked in everyone's brain, but only synaesthetes, who have a rare condition in which the senses mingle, are conscious of it.
From Medical News Today, Science Says Kandinsky Was Right - Paintings Can Be Heard.
Over the years I have discovered there is an inextricable interlink between vision and another sense - smell. The same is true with hearing and smell. I am generally able to immediately recognize a certain stench from something written or spoken by THE BIGS, Tobacco, Pharma, Corporations, Medicine, Insurance and their allies, particularly when they speak or write in criticism of our American civil justice system.
See if you get a whiff of the same foul odor from these sample pronouncements:
In a 1987 memo, Hamish Maxwell, then CEO of Philip Morris, discussed "this corporation's drive toward improving products liability law at the federal and state levels."
The American Legal System is out of control. Rising liability costs place a crippling burden on American businesses and have strained the ability of insurers to meet demand for liability coverages. Legislative tort reform, both at the state and federal levels and rigorous risk management are needed. - The Insurance Information Institute, AIG and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
The $250,000 (damages) caps that we've passed in the state of California stabilized (medical malpractice) premiums somewhat, but we still have this awful, awful system. This is a terrible system. - William Plested III, president of the American Medical Association
To understand how THE BIGS have coordinated their foul-smelling propaganda for years:
For the last 15 years, insurance companies, manufacturers of dangerous products and chemicals, the tobacco industry and other major industries have been engaged in a nationwide assault on the civil justice system.
The goals of these attacks on the system are clear: to insulate corporations from lawsuits for their reckless behavior and to strip the rights of injured consumers who would be entitled to compensation. Threatened by the willingness of impartial juries to penalize them where it hurts most -- their bottom line -- corporations and their insurers are out to convince the public that the civil justice system is "out of control" and needs to be scaled back.
