Are you free to write new lyrics for classical instrumental works by such dead composers like Mozart or Bach? I mean, since their copyright has expired, you can perform their works for free. But are you allowed to write new lyrics to transform some of their works into a new song?

I live in central NJ (a somewhat rural - read: caucasian area) and see minorities pulled over much more frequently than white people.

Do police target minorities in predominently white areas, or do all of these minorities get pulled over for legitimate reasons (not just for being black or mexican or indian)?

I have been divorced from the father of my children for 3(GLORIOUS) years. For the first year, it was like pulling teeth to get ANY child support from him. Though I didn't complain because he would ACTUALLY see them on a regular basis. He has chosen to be absent from their lives for a little over TWO years now. No visits. No phone calls. And certainly NO child support!! I am just really fed up with the situation! Nobody can seem to locate him and the STATE certainly has done nothing to find him. I know there has got to be SOME way to track him down....he's not THAT smart! I'll catch up with him....eventually. BUT HOW????!!!!????

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A Sea Knight helicopter carrying 16 Marines went down in a lake...( Yes! A Lake!! With a million SQ miles of sand..) west of the Iraqi capital in Anbar, killing four of them in the volatile province where an Air Force fighter jet crashed last week, the military said Monday.

The twin-rotor CH-46 helicopter from 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing made the emergency landing Sunday near the shore of Lake Qadisiyah “in which the pilots maintained control of the aircraft the entire time,” the military said.

There are a million SQ miles of land and the Marines landed in a lake. What's wrong with this picture?

I am a 29 yr old single mom that has made some poor choices this year. I have been addicted to meth for the past 2 years. I was convicted of forgery back in march of this year and swore i would get my life together and break my addiction. No matter how hard i tried i couldnt stop. Then i was arrested again in July for the SAME crime. i decided then i needed to get help. The judge let me out of jail to go to a treatment center while waiting to be sentenced. I graduated from the intensive treatment after 8 weeks and the judge let me move into a half way house. Then i went on to get a job as a manager at a local cellular phone comany. I am active in self help groups and AA/NA meeting daily. I am also active in my childrens lives. Everything is getting back to the way things were before i became addicted. I have been sober for 6 months. I am going in front of the judge Do you think i convince the judge that i am ready to live a life free of crime?

I was wrongfully put in the mental hospital for 2 weeks by my homeless shelter because another resident lied on me about something. Also, the police officers restrained me & put me in tight handcuffs & laughed @ me, & everyone around was laughing @ me & calling me crazy, but I didn't do anything. I didn't lose control until they cuffed me for no reason because that HURTS. Do I have a right to sue the staff or the organization-or neither? Why or why not? One lady said I can't sue because they're granting me housing, but all my other peers are telling me that I MUST sue.

1) Grandma: Obsessive complusive bipolar psychotic gossip with way too much time on her hads(I think she has 2 more disorders, but I don't know the proper terminology and I don't like guessing at those sort of things, as they are very serious).
2) Aunt: Very similar but with a much darker past and therefore more inventive regarding tall tales to accuse myself, my wife, or my 2 year old son of. She also has a very 'demonic' neice she has taken into her home(as per descriptors used by people who have met her, which are few in number), and enjoys spitting hateful accusations at people to help herself feel better about her own failings(much like Grandma, but more severe).
I need to know a preferably no-cost method of legally disowning these two hazards to a comfortable life. My wife and I are happy together and our son is being raised in a very loving home(lots of affection!), so we clearly don't need intrusions by these two into our life by any means or result.
