Law & Ethics - August 2006

Work in school which has failed on their duty of care to protect the health and safety of several colleagues. When put this to local county council they say that it is the governors especially chair who is responsible for duty of care. How can this be? It is not governors who pay our wages nor do any of them realise that they are responsible for the duty of care of all the staff in the school. Governors were not informed of the problem. The only governor which new was the chair of governors and he either took it on himself or got advice and none of the other governors were told. How can you then take out a grievance on the governors. On contract of employment it states "our employer is local county council". any advice anyone please at my wits end. Any problems and the LEA and county council pass the blame to governors.

Is is possible to sue the state of Texas or it's contractors. I.E. A intersection is set up on a highway of 55 mph BUT no signs of the up coming inersection are in place. A major accident occurs is the state liable since they were negligent in having warning/advisory signs posted. This intersection had the non working lights flashing for 2 wks on red before they set them to work..Note also that you are the victim in the accident , had a green light are insured and the other driver is insured too, the one who hits you by running the red light.

The Judge in a civil case has made written and verbal statements that have no truth and no supporting evidence. He has caused considerable damage to my reputation.

My wife was hospitalized for 3 weeks then taken off work for 6 more. Her boss told her she had short term disability and said she had sent the papers in and there was nothing to worry about. We found out now that we dont have short term disability, and that we were lied to.

What if I believe that cars are just as bad as cigarettes? And can prove it?
Do I not have the same rights as a non smoker?
Don't I have the same freedom of liberty?
Can I say don't drive around me like a person says don't smoke?
I am part of society, and as society, we need to make a change.

If someone can get a ticket, or be denied the right to smoke in a place to work, or bar or restauraunt because it violates anothers right to clean air, then it makes sense to me that these people should also be denied the right to drive cars, or motorcycles, or run a lawnmower, because they are doing the same thing to me, as they are complaining about on others.

I was fired from my government job on Oct 3, 2005, I have been diagnosed with PTSD, and the government chose to fire me because of problems that developed after my return from Iraq. It worsened after return to work in December 2004, I sought out help through the employee assistance program at my job, I finally ended up at the Veterans Administration, where they diagnosed me with PTSD, at which I'm rated at 60%, and 10 % for my hearing loss, my family has difficulty with me, my children know that I'm not the same person I was before I left for Iraq, my parents don't understand it either, I rarely leave my home, my relationship with my girl friend has failed, I've contacted the president, vice president, all my senators and congressmen, only one congressman has tried to help, but his help seem to be in vain. I know it sounds like self-pity, honestly I would have to agree somewhat, but I was called upon to serve my country, and sacrificed allot, I just want what right, help me please

Let's start with two premises. First, let's assume for sake of argument that the embryo does have independent legal rights. Second, let's agree that a woman has the right to choose what happens to her own body, but does not have the right to harm the embryo. In other words, she has a say in what happens to her, but no say in what happens to the child.

Solution -- each state sets up a registry of surrogate mothers, from those who are pro-life. Anytime someone doesn't want to be pregnant, the state will randomly select a surrogate from this list, sort of like jury selection. The embryo will then be transplanted from the original mother to the surrogate, and both will sign adoption papers transferring full custody to the new mother.

That gives the original mother her personal choice to opt-out of being involved in the pregnancy, and the pro-life people are happy because no embryo will ever be killed.

Seems like a win-win for both sides. Any objections?

Like I said, someone told me that if two parties agree on something and write it down and sign it it is legally binding even if it is written on something like a cocktail napkin, is this true? Would something like that hold up in court? Is there somewhere I can check on this?
