Do the elected politicians actually try to represent the views of the voters?

My father has 3 brothers and two sisters of which one is dead.My grandfather divided all his property,which is too much,into the four of them.But one of my uncle pasted strips of his name in many places and he will now is considered wrong.In his will he declared his quite big house to be my uncle's house(the one which pasted strips).And other property was divided among all other brothers including him.Now we paid no attention in property mattersBut as the uncle's house was not his now.so he claimed for the house to be given to him.{My grandfather had given the house not on the name of that uncle but his son}.So he claimed that his house should be given to his son.
Now,as he was wrong district court gave a conclusion that his house was not his and it will also be divided among four brothers.He therefore brought a stay order from "tehseeldar"by illegal means like corruption.But its illegal.
Any ways now he is creating problems for us.Additional details left

However, how do you reconcile your conscience and use of oil/petrol and petroleum by products that could very well be from Iraq? I often think about Muslims that say whilst condemning terrorism, they worry about Muslim brothers/sisters etc in these countries- understandably. Bush and Blair have secured oil supplies there for us to use- is it morally right to live in the uk and use them and condone the war? Should we pay more for oil to stop these invasions happening? Or was it morally justifiable to go to war in Iraq?

I was watching a show on tv where a wealthy father died without a will. He has recently married a woman from Taiwan and one of his biological daughters was living with him. After his death, the wife kicked out the daughter and ceased all monthly allowances that were given to his girls.

Can the daughters successful and legally contest this. And can a wife of only six months really received everything the husband left behind despite the fact he has children?

The daughter are basically penniless and must rely on their mother and themselves for support.

It seems very unfair..but something tells me because he didnt leave a will, the girls are well..screwed...

Why did they not ban gay marriage or outlaw abortion at that time?



After all, these have been the issues that they focus on the most when campaigning to get elected.

Were that afraid that the religious right would no longer have a reason to vote republican if they fulfilled their campaign promises?

that marijuana is illegal. its completely natural. who the hell is the government to tell me i can't use a plant that grows naturally. maybe people will open up their eyes when corn and tomatoes are being outlawed. go ahead and laugh. but know that while you are, the government is plotting to take control over everything you do. its time we woke up. its up to us to keep our privacy, its up to us to keep our rights. we are becoming less and less free everyday. even as i type, freedom is becoming illusory.

I told these couple that I would email them the Contract. They would sign it and fax it back. After reading the contract they realize there were some points they didnt like and wanted me to change it. I agreed with that and promise to fax the new contracty with the corrections as soon as possible. But then, after thinking it carefully, I decided not to work with that people because I can tell they are too demanding and dont care too much about my art. So I have decided to tell them that I will be busy by the date the work must done, and I am not going to be able to work for them. I am liable? The promise of faxing them the new contract is an oral agreement by the one I could be liable in any way? We didnt sign anything.I just said "Ok I will be faxing the contract. Bye"
What do you think?

The following in no way represents my true beliefs. Okay, well, it does, but just in case the FBI break down my door after I post this, I can say that it was all purely hypothetical.

I suggest that the death penalty is wrong only because death is actually *too good* for those convicted of first degree murder. Hell, this might apply even to second degree murder. I'm thinking about it. First degree murder implies an intent to kill, and second degree murder implies that death resulted from an assault intended to harm.

What if, instead of simply being imprisoned, murderers were actually tortured? Killers, you see, often don't fear death, which is why statistics show that the death penalty has no effect as a deterrent. Many murderers actually desire death. Therefore, I suggest that murderers be subjected to agony that they didn't know they were afraid of. This is, of course, not realistic. It is unquestionably barbaric and generally not PC.

I am a 55 yr. old female, who invited a friend of my husbands (who passed away in Jan) to share my home. The reason was strictly financial. He had lived with me approx. 5 mo. when he lost his job. After that I started noticing that he was acting differently...coming in at all hr., always " busy" doing odd things, up all night, not eating, etc. He then got in trouble with the police for shoplifting, resulting in a warrant for his arrest. The police came and picked him up at my home & for whatever crazy reason, he thought I turned him in! (I didn't)!! I found out a day later that he was doing meth. Because he thought I called the police, he told them that I was selling drugs!! While he was in jail, I was going to the store on my bike & I got pulled over! The police said that they were raiding my home & gave me a search warrant. I had $900 in my pocket,$ that I received from my ins. co. for hail damage. They found nothing in my home. I wasnt charged but they kept my $. Can they do this?

I have a few questions.

1. If I am walking down a street, and a police officer stops and asks to see an I.D., am I required to show him one?

2. When are police officers allowed to search my car without my consent?

3. When are police officers allowed to enter my house and search it without a warrant or without my consent?

4. When are police officers allowed to pat me down?

5. Do we have the right to videotape police officers?

Remember, this is regarding the state laws of California.

Thanks in advance.

Is this legal? To take an old film not actually available in the USA - transfer it to DVD (from a VHS tape) and then sell it?

I am actually thinking of old sci-fi B movies.

Today a judge ordered a German Shepard to be put down after it mauled an illegal immigrant. People around the US rally around the dog. Why is it when an illegal commits a crime the world wants to exterminate illegal immigrants but when a caucasian blows up oklahoma city or 4 black males murder an NFL star people dont really care to deport them?

They did pass the emergency powers act when it happened. The president could have halted elections.

Ever notice these demons can hide in Britney's bushes, snap pictures of a celebrity naked in the home, stalk Beyonce & Michael Jackson, block Will & Jada as virtual prisoners as they try to get out their driveway, chase down Princess Di, causing her death (snapping pics of her bloody, taking her last breath [not calling 911]), side-swipe Lindsay Lohan's car in a high-speed chase to get her pic (causing her to have an accident), & a host of other roguish-a** crimes ... & get away with it? Notice, if the celebrity dares to spit in the clown's face or grab the camera & throw it out the window, that celebrity is villanized & pressured to apologize!

How many think BUSH can shoot 'em in COLD BLOOD if he spots 'em in his bushes / peeking at LAURA through the window & get away with it?

Don't even MENTION what the SECRET SERVICE can get away with in the name of NATIONAL SECURITY!! Pretty certain they can make 'em disappear ... don't bother looking in a dumpster OR down a shark's belly!!
