I would like to know if we can change out by laws each year so we can stay on the board longer. The way the by laws are not is that each board member is on the board for one yean and can be reelected each year after, so is there any time in the year that we can change those by laws to read that we would be on the board for 4 years and I want to know if this is legal.

On the website http://enronwatchdog.org they talk about how the corruption of the Enron era is not just a corporate failure, but also a failure of governmental oversight which was eviserated by deregulation. Do you think that is true? Why or why not? What should have been done, what has been done, and what do you think we need to do so that we don't have another period of time like the one where Enron, WorldCom, and the rest had all of their problems?

This happened to me about four years ago, another question made me think about this...

I was moving to a new area and wanted to advertise for a babysitter because I worked an odd shift, until 8pm at night. The small town I was moving to was on the opposite edge of the county from the only major town of that area, so there was only one real newspaper in the county. I called to place the ad....and said I wanted the ad to say, "Need a babysitter in the xxxx area," and the newspaper person threw a fit! She said specifying a town or area, no matter HOW I phrased it, was discrimanatory and they could not run the ad.

I said come on, this isn't a big money job, who will want to drive 50 miles a day round trip for $50 a week, and you expect me to field all those calls on my cell phone??? She was quite rude about the whole thing. I just didn't get it!!! I didn't say they HAD to be from the area, I was saying I was in that area. I just thought this was the silliest rule...

I live in GA. Things had been great with our contact. Then about 2 months ago I sent him a fax having to do with my case. He has not responded to any of my repeated request for contact. When the girl that answers the phones goes in to tell him I am on the line he always tells her that he will call me back. What steps should I take?

When it comes to propety tax, how is it that we have a Constitution that say..."all people will be....equal protection...", and allows someone to have an assessed value on thier property and another who has the same exact property to have an assessed value that is 10X more. The Courts have said this is legal....why??

He swallowed their meds and had to be medivacted (ride the hospital helicopter) to the next town over and stayed in the ICU overnight. I just received all the medical bills and they refuse to pay them. Can I make them pay the bills because it happened on their property while they were supposed to be watching my son? I don't think it's fair that I have to pay over $7,000 because of their carelessness.

P.S. My son is great now :)

Ok, here's the deal. My younger sister got suspended from school today because the school started an African American Heritage study all this week. In her Social Studies class they were gonna go through anything that had to do with African Americans. My sister refused to do any work related to it or sit there and listen. I know my family is not racist, I'm not sure where she picks stuff like that up, but the she never made a rude comment, she just said and I quote "I don't want to learn about African American culture, why should it be mandatory for me to learn it". After that she refused to listen or do the work, and she got sent to the Principals office where she then got suspended. What is going on? Can they suspend her for that? Is it mandatory for everyone to learn and appreciate(forced or not) African American Culture/Heritage? I think they did my sister wrong.

Could you get a prostitute and pay her for sex legally if you film it, whether you plan to distribute the film or not? I know porn is protected by Freedom of Speech, but it isn't only commercial porn that is protected, is it?

This is the thing i have worked for this lady for about 6 months she had paid me by 3-4 checks w/ a pay stub then one day she was all worried that I had already cashed my check @ the currency. Well the next check I got she told me to go to her bank and cash it.So I did not thinking of it.Well turns out that she had bounced my check @ the currency and did not want me to know about it. Then the following few weeks she was just paying me cash....I thought that was really strange, but I didn't say any thing because I just wanted to get paid. Well to make this long story short she never paid the currency & wont give me my last check...I personaly don't think that she has ever filled out the W-2 for me I don't really know what is going on I need to go futher with this but I need know how to find out what she is doing before I get in trouble for nothing..If someone can help me figure this out I would be very greatfull for any info. I can get on shaddy employers...Thankyou Sandra

My fiance suggested I try her dentist. My fiance told the Dentist office where I worked. They then began telling her the names of some of my co-workers who also come to their office. The Dentist office proceeds to look at what my co-worker's chart to see how much and what would be covered under my insurance. Would this be some sort of HIPPA violation? If so, what do I need to do to report this abuse? Thanks in advance for any help and direction.
