I was changing my sheets and....well...we've all seen tags on our pillows that say " Under penalty of law this tag not to be removed except by the consumer". Does anyone know the history behind this law? Just curious...

I have a friend that smoke pot sometime and she believe it not as same as harsh drug because it almost like smoking cig and drinking beer and she said it shouldn't be illegal because it make you relax when you are stress or enjoy. I don't know what to say because I don't judge her but I am afriad that she might get busted one day but she been smoking for 15 years off and on but never got caught. I want to know how many of you say that it should be legal and law are not fair about that or should it be illegal. What are pro and cons. I don't know much about it but I am curious what it is like and it shouldn't be illegal because cig and beer, acohol is like drug. but tell me about your story about it.

Last night I cooked 2 pieces of prepackaged meat. My husband had one piece and me and my 2 toddlers shared the second piece. As my husband was in the middle of eating the last of his sandwich he said "oww..what is that?" and pulled a piece of metal out of his mouth that was embedded in the meat. First thing he said is "lawsuit" mainly because it's METAL that was obviously in the meat before or during packaging. I said don't worry about it, but he said a piece of metal that size (a little larger than 1/4 inch) could cause damange in your digestive tract...especially since we have 2 small children. So what type of lawyer would he seek to handle a case like this?

access to a thorough sex education program or access to birth control wants to apply for welfare and WIC to feed the baby...you turn on her? Her and her baby are now scum who is riding the system...or maybe you don't want the funds there in the first place for her. It seems to me that if you are Pro-life you should be Pro-welfare and Pro-free medical insurance for children... however, most, it would seem are not. Are you pro-life and pro-welfare?

I went to traffic court yesterday and was amazed at how lenient the judge seemed to be for the first dozen people who plead guilty with serious offenses. Yet when I plead not guilty and presented my case honestly she threw me out. She said I could appeal it, but I'm a school teacher and can't afford the time to do this all again.

My question is: she seemed much more lenient with people who had good records like mine (previously) and were like wreckless driving or severely speeding (over 15) who had said they plead guilty yet pulled up their DMV record or took initiative to do the driving course. Not all of them did that, and with all of them she reduced the fine or took away the negative points altogether and forgave them.

Should I have plead guilty and lied to myself when I believed myself to be not guilty? This is a matter of conscience, and I'm not sure what I should have done. I could care less about the monetary fine, I just didn't want the four negative points. :(

Could I tell the judge, 'for national security' I can't tell you anything?

Could I tell the judge you can't have my computer 'It;s TOP SECRET'?

Then why is the Government getting away with it?
Who are they accountable too?
Shouldn't there be a non biased party to police the police?

My home has recently been broken into twice in the last 2 weeks but nothing was taken. The first time it happened the only reason I knew was because my dog was outside and the 2nd time it happened while I was acually at home. My one vehicle is broke down and sitting at work and so I'm sure that who ever it was thought I was gone because my car was not there. The thing of it is I think it's acually my neighbor because other people have said that they have caught her in their house. I want to try and video tape her (assuming it's her) but need some advice on an inexpensive way to do it. Who ever it is comes through the patio door and all I need to do is put a marble in the door so that if the door is opened the marble will be moved and I know someones been in my house. I initially looked at buying some type of motion activated camera but can not afford that - Please does anyone have any ideas on how I can catch this person

In New Jersey, Colorado and possibly other states, they have banned smoking statewide in restaraunts and bars and other public places, but casinos are exempt from this. Why?

Do you think this is fair, or should a smoking ban be applied to everyone.

I have had court papers stating that I owe the original amount of the suit and "judgement interest".

First, what is judgement interest?

Second, can judgement interest be negotiated down if I got a lawyer?

Any legal advice here would be helpful.

Thanks
