Law & Ethics - December 2006

The former Enron evildoer 'died' before his sentencing, was pronounced by a relative who was not the coroner of his town and then was 'cremated' so nobody outside the family saw a body. He was known as "Kenny-boy Bush" because of his close ties with the President's family and contribution to Senior, Junior, and Jeb's campaigns. Can you tell me he isn't in the witness protection program now, somewhere like the Bahamas, living off US Taxpayers?

In a CIVAL summons to court, is it the law that the defendant be represented by an attorney ? I have only had five days (during the holidays) to find representation w/o any success. I am trying to get the date pushed back. Is it my RIGHT to have legal representation in a CIVAL court hearing?

I mean if the person wants to feel good, even though it's bad for his health, why not let him take them?...It's his body and it doesn't cause anything bad for the people around him.

The FDA states that genetically clone animal products are by definition identical to the progenitor. My question with regards to warning labels on clone animal products is more of a moral issue than with nutrition. Sure cloned products might be completely safe to use but what of the ethics involved ? No warning labels on cloned animal products would seem a violation of my right to boycott such products; and yet this is what I'm told will happen since the FDA has decided that cloned products are equivalent to the original... what do you think ?
Will they require labeling or not ?

I'm disabled and my college is trying to prevent me from completing my last semester as a nursing student due to my disabilities. I completed fall semester with a GPA of 4.0. They have been stalling and very unethical in their actions in the past 2 months. Should I fight or let them have there way and look the other way when it comes to rights, justice, and ethics? What do you believe is the right thing to do? Should I fight for what is right? Or should I do what thousands do, and walk away? Thank you.

I got into a car accident and the other driver didnt want to go through her insurance and wouldnt give me her insurance info. She said she had a lot of tickets on her record and would rather pay out of pocket. She wrote me a check and had me sign a paper saying that we settled the incident without going through our insurance for a specified amount. But her check bounced. Is that paper I signed still valid or can i just go through my insurance and sue her for my deductible?

I am in the middle of a court settlement in which the defendant agreed to settle out of court with me. His atty was recently found murdured before the check was issued to me. Will this go back to court and proceed as if I hadn't settled out of court, or can a new atty just issue our check to us?

To the citizens of the United States of America

In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).

Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up “aluminium,” and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.

2. The letter ‘U’ will be reinstated in words such as ‘colour’, ‘favour’ and ‘neighbour.’ Likewise, you will learn to spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters, and the suffix “ize” will be replaced by the suffix “ise.”

3. You will learn that the suffix ‘burgh’ is pronounced ‘burra’; you may elect to respell Pittsburgh as ‘Pittsberg’ if you find you simply can’t cope with correct pronunciation.

4. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up “vocabulary”). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as “like” and “you know” is unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.

5.There is no such thing as “US English.” We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter ‘u’ and the elimination of “-ize.”

6. You will relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The Queen”, but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above).

7. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only inEngland. It will be called “Come-Uppance Day.”

8. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you’re not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you’re not grown up enough to handle a gun.

9. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

10. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.

11. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

12. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling “gasoline”) -roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it.

13. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called “crisps.” Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar.

14. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.

15. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as “beer,” and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as “Lager.” American brands will be referred to as “Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine,” so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

16. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” was an experience akin to having one’s ears removed with a cheese grater.

17. You will cease playing American “football.” There is only one kind of proper football; you call it “soccer”. Those of you brave enough will, in time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American “football”, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

18. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the “World Series” for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.

19. You must tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us mad.

20. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due backdated to 1776.

Thank you for your co-operation.

John Cleese
