In Long Beach, Ca., three white women were beaten by a gang of at least forty black "youth" on Halloween because they were white. Ten of them (so far) have been charged for hate crimes. As a main witness against those ten, an African American 18 year old single mother is being openly threatened by men "dressed in gang attire" to the point that she had to have a police escort to the courtroom. Her car was openly vandalized the same day that she described it to the defense attorney in court. Had this situation been reversed, this would be front page news. Yet I see no civil rights leader taking up the cause of the three white victims, nor the witness (one of the bravest persons I've ever read about lately). If today's civil rights leaders were truthful about their "quest", they'd be seeking community awareness and reaction to the racially-motivated hate crime committed, and the gangland harassment of a brave African American single mother. I don't see any of them in Long Beach.

When I went to training for the military (5 months) , I left my common-law husband & son.. during that time, I was dumped & almost taken for everything I had in the bank. I came back & if not 4 his sister/my bestfriend; i would have been homeless. With her, i moved into a small 2 bedroom house & was left paying bills that were long overdue & had to work constantly. I decided that my son; who had a nice 3 BR house, a yard to play in, our family dog; should stay w/ his dad. He was reluctant to be w/ me (having been away from me so long) & I figured: why take him from where he's comfortable & I knew I couldnt care for him like his father could...
what im asking is this: Did I do right with doing that? Its been a year & he still lives with his dad (my financial problems). I have my son on Wed nights & every other weekend & I pay for daycare. Is that right or wrong?

If you were a Supreme Court justice...

Would you take part in judicial activism or judicial restraint? Why?

What beliefs and principles would you take into consideration when making decisions in court?

Thanksssss =]

What would happen if one siamese twin were to kill someone but the other had nothing to do with it and there is no way that he could have stopped it from happening? How would they be punished? Would they be punished?

I'm asking because I personally don't know what would happen and I don't think it'd be fair to punish both when the other had nothing to do with it. Then again, I don't think it's fair to let the killer off the hook.

An unusual problem...that i cant find the answer to in the Data Protection Act.
I wish (the hospital i work for wishes) to copy a persons medical records...transfer it into digital form (pdf) burn it to a CD and give it to another agency (health insurance company) .
Im fairly certain it ought to be encrypted (or protected in some way)...but my boss says no...it doesnt ...just do it.
Err...Im the IT manager..and i havent come across this scenario before...anyone point me to something "Official".
To make the situation even more interesting...Im in GERMANY...so i will have to find a similar ruling in the Datenschutzgesetz.
Oh btw our data protection woman does what the boss says :(

Two years ago my mother was pinched between two vehicles( she was ok) in a grocery store parking lot while trying to get out of her vehicle to purchase a soda. There were witnessess and a police report was made and when she came home and told me about it she was not really concerned. I told her she should sue because clearly she was not at fault but she didnt want to. A few days later a commercial for an attorney came on stating that if you've been injured to call him, well I did after my mom told me not to. I insisted anyway.It took two years but they settled for $4200.00 my mom never once had to do anything but have one conversation via phone and cash a check. I recently lost my home and everything in it due to a fire. Before the money was in her hands I asked her for $20 to get my ID so I could work and a cellphone, she also insisted on giving me $500 towards a down payment since my car had been recently stolen.Since she has received this money she has done nothing to keep her word

I was told I had to move out and find an apartment and she would pay the entire mortgage on the house. I signed the lease and then she changed her mind and said I had to pay half the mortgage because she couldn't afford it. The marital agreement was changed to say that as well. I was fine with that.... Now she has changed the locks on the house so I don't have any access to it at all. Is that legal? Am I still required to pay half the mortgage even though she changed the locks on the doors? She says she doesn't trust me because I snooped through some of her stuff (and found things I might add). I'm just questioning the legality of some of the things she is doing...

I rented a copier for three weeks, which was delivered the day of order. At the end three weeks, I called the company to pick it up. A week went by and no pick up – so I called again. Another week has gone by with no pick up. Now I consider myself storing the machine in my living room. I am considering writing a certified letter informing this company that they have abandoned their equipment. Being in California - is there any certain forms or letter formats out there that I should use to protect myself legally? I know there is for landlords, but this is a different situation.
