Law & Ethics - August 2006

Our car was taken to a garage for an estimate only, owner took car out, determined everything that was wrong, especially the brakes. 1-2 days after giving us the estimate, his 17 yr. old employee totals our truck and wrecks into 3 other cars in the process. The seats in back of my truck were flat down like they were hauling something with my truck, he told cops he was just moving our truck off the lot in order to move other vehicles around, but the accident happened several blocks away and he was coming for the other direction. Cop said I probably couldn't get him for unlawful use of vehicle because he was test driving it, the guy keeps changing his story. Guy tolds me accident happened a block and a half away, which was also a lie, and get this, they guy drives our totalled truck back to the service station, then charges us $250 in storage fees for keeping the truck there that HE totalled. In short, do you think I could nail him on unlawful use? would that cost me anything to do?

My friend has got evicted out of his house which are owned by black people, he was renting it for six (6) years. One of their friends wrote "B***h a*s Ni**a" on the wall. It was written by pushing little holes with a needle. The home owners, are going to try to press charges against them for it.

Is it possible jsut to say that they didn't know since they've been living there for six years to not bring their friend up? If they are sued / charged, what will they be sued with?

Oh, and one more thing, it would be free expression of the 1st amendment, as long as it didn't harm the other. For example, the KKK can march down streets saying they hate blacks legally unless if they promote violence or do any harmful things to anything or anyone.

me and my mom went to albertsons yesterday to get $160.00 in money orders. we bought some scratch tickets at the same time and while our money orders were printing we went over to the side of the counter to scratch the tickets. we were so upset when we lost we walked away without grabbing our money orders. when we realized this we went back and the girl was already off work. so they called her and she said she gave them to us but we know for sure she didnt. we finally talked to a manager and he said he would check the servalence tapes. so we called back this morning and the manager said they couldnt see anything because the camera was facing the wrong angle. we dont know what to do. that was our bill money and without it we cant pay our bills. please give me some advice on what to do. albertsons isnt helping us at all and we really need our money.

But what if she marks othr park work as being single and then common law with the jail? Would this cause a future problem when it comes to taxes? other federal procedures?

In my long journey, I have discovered that there are too many prejudices,biases, political considerations,and economic participations for any kind of justice to be achieved.Far more often than not we are simply throwing roostertails of mud high in the air- putting on a spectacular show, not getting much of nowhere.

My father's house is in Ogemaw County, Michigan. Prior to his death he lived in a VA care facility in a distant county (Kent County) for 5 years. He died in Kent County. Which is the correct location to handle his probate?

I already have the "common sense" answer to this question. What I lack is the "legal" answer to this question.

Thank you in advance.

For many people the ethics of lying is straightforward – it’s wrong.

However, in politics and especially during wartime, lying becomes a more complicated issue. Politicians are burned with the task of determining when their duty to tell the truth is outweighed by public interest.

Do you think a case can be made that lying to the public is justified when it is required to defend national and strategic interests, like defending against Terrorism?

Many of us wonder if the people and groups who argue against various execution methods as "cruel and unusual" have anything constructive to contribute in getting to a method that is not cruel and unusual. Because the fact of the matter is that heinous criminals are going to continue to be put to death. So, rather than just voicing opinions that there is a problem with a method, those who criticize a method should also bring with them their opinion of the best alternative method. That is how those condemned to death would be better served.

I happen to like them and do not want them changed. I think they are great documents that need to be kept? I happen to think that these documents are part of what makes America a great place and do not want them violated or changed. I think these rights must remain intact in order for America to retain its integirity as America.

Do both librals and conservatives and any other parties believe this? Would you like to run your life based on your choices and your values with out the interference of the Government? If yes please tell me your pollitical affilation. What I am suspecting is that many Americans want the same thing. We just want to live our lives as we see fit as individuals. Do you agreee? Is this how you feel? Conservative or Libral or Independent or Libertarian?

The dispute is because the money from her work is not paid fully. When she went to reason, the boss told her the money for lunch is deducted, thus resulting in lesser money, and added, if you want your money, take off your clothes and go to bed with me.

Can this women sue the boss?

with librals that want them too for that common cause? I live in the wild west and some of our people want to bear arms also. In fact tons of them. They believe what you believe. Would you work with them to keep that civil right theoretically even if they were librals? I believe in this right although I do not have one. I grew up with them and learned respect for them and gun safety and shot my fathers guns.

Would you put aside your differences for a common cause of civil rights? Remember strength in numbers? Would you work with people you disliked to get what you wanted in life for a common goal?
