Law & Ethics - November 2006

In the poem Frosts states:
"Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;"

So here is he saying this is the road less traveled because he can visualy see the grass has grown and is not warn down by excessive traffic?

Because then he says this:
"Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,"

Isnt this saying that he is unable to determine that one or the other has been worn more then the other? And if so, how did he choose? I thought the premise was, when you come to a fork in the road, often, you may find that you should take the road less people seem to be taking, as often following the crowd is a bad life choice.

Do I have the premise wrong? If not, how did he distinguish between the two roads?

I would assume there is some sort of standard....ie a scientific tests of some sort to establish credibilty and reliablity....of both the dog, the handler and the trainer....but is that really an exact science?...wouldn't that allow for a great margin of error?

I have seen dogs go both ways.....do poorly on a case....and ones that have "found" the intended target..or whatever the situation may be. I am not talking about drug sniffing dogs.

Two cases I am thinking of are the Jessica Lunsford(sp) case in FLA...where the dog didnt locate her body in the shallow grave.....and the Scott Peterson case...where the dog handler was allowed to testify( he(the dog..lol) sniffed at the end of the dock...denoting that she was in the water).


Should dogs be allowed to be used(sniffing) in criminal cases? Not as a tool or method for law enforcement but should they be able to "testify" in court....and of course I don't mean the dog but the handler re: testimony?

..common place in the West these days.
Yes, it is true that a handful characters who happened to be "muslims" have done evil things in the past, hence it seems to be OK to demonise all muslims.

Muslims have only one problem. They have no quarell with the europeans, or Americans. They feel that their comrades in Palestine have been marginalised, kicked out of their land, tortured, murdered by the Israelis, and the West has for some reason turned a blind eye. It is this injustice that the vast majority of muslms are angry with.

Muslims have been living without any problem whatsoever in much of Europe in the last century, but recently eveything they do seems to attract the attention of the Europeans and the "Christians" living in these countries. It is shocking when dignified people in the Christian world (like the Pope) joins his country men to sneer at & talk about a handful of nikab wearing muslim women, -- dont u think perhaps we said ENOUGH to this shameful Muslim bashing?

My younger brother (19yrs old) went to the NAVY last year. His mailing address is at my grandmothers house. She gets his mail, opens it & if she sees that he's spending more money than SHE wants him to, she will cut up his account information (passwords for online access) and his debit cards. When I ask her for his mail is, so that I can mail it to his current base, she tells me she threw it away! (His address has already been changed to my house, but I want her to pay for this past year she's made my brother starve because she always want to be right and not let my brother grow up and make his own mistakes.) Is there anything I can do legally through the police or the military to stop her from opening and reading his mail so that he can get his bank information and pay bills and eat?

Imm. after our last court date this past summer my x's attorney asked for discovery from us, due in 30 days. At day 31 my attorney requested a 30 day extension and to have their discovery in by that date as well.
His attorney never provided discovery but 1 month ago my attorney mailed our's to them. We didn't get anything and they didn't request an extention, so after several letters my attorney said she was going to bring his attorney into court on contempt and have them pay our costs.
But because we didn't provide our discovery within that first 30 days and they never confirmed the request for an extension the judge said we were in the wrong and that if we wanted their discovery we would have to pay $525 - their attorney fees.
So not only do we not get their discovery now I will be charged by my attorney for that day in court -
Is that fair? If she would have done things right & knew the ins and outs better, she would have known we wouldn't get attorney's fees - what to do?

My boyfriend recently got laid off about three weeks ago for the season as a 1099 subcontractor for a landscape company. His boss is refusing to pay him is final paycheck (over $1500) because he is being assused of breaking a machine that he did not break. Does his ex-boss have the right to do this? And what can my boyfriend legally do to make his ex-boss pay him what he is owed?

Thanks.

The technical and therefore legal difference between the meaning of 'murder' and 'killing' is very grey. It is used in legalise to defend the actions of US and UK soldiers as 'justified homocide' or as 'legal killing' of innocent citizens *by accident, cough* but not in defence of the Iraqi insurgents who are also engaged in a war (against an occupier) who have been downgraded as 'terrorists' to somehow grade inhumanity as 'OK' as long as it is officially supported by HM Government but 'not OK' for the Arabs because they have no institutional support. The ethical posturing by HM's Law Lords is therefore very unreliable in this highly hypocritical context.

My nephew is taking U.S. Government in high school and WE are both confused about the difference between double Jeapardy and a Wrongful Death suit. As I looked at his notes from his teacher, it seems to me that a Wrongful Death suit is really another cheap way to try a case again. (Is there something that I am missing"? Does anyone want to take a shot at explaining this or am I simply pointing out a flaw in our legal system?)
