Law & Ethics - December 2006

Okay, my ex, EX boyfriend and I have been broken up for about a year or so. I had a cell phone on his plan, as an extra number. I wasn't on the account anywhere, and didn't sign anything. Shortly after we broke up, I cancelled my phone number w/them. There was a final bill that was really high, and he keeps harrassing me about it, even though I've told him I can only pay on it when I get extra money. He thinks he can sue me, but I think not, since I was never on the account. Which is true?
Also, he was buying a tv for me, and his grandfather wanted it, so he took that one, and I got the grandfather's old one. The ex just emailed me today and said he wants "his" tv back, and when can he come over to get it. I said too bad, it was a gift. It's my property.
I'm just trying to find out if I am in the right about both of these issues.
No offense, but if you dont' know for sure, please don't answer with an opinion, I have enough of those. ;)
Thank you.

someone who drives with my kids in the car frequently gets driven around by others. I was not supposed to know this. I'm curious if their drivers licence or plates are suspended or revoked for some reason. The person has serious health issues as well. I don't want my kids in the car if they are in danger. I would rather drive them myself. Is there a way to find out this info?

look at this news link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061215/hl_nm/tobacco_lawsuit_dc

Do you think it is fair to ask a tobacco company to pay for your bad habit? This article is asking for yearly CT scans to check for cancer. They tend to be about $500 procedures. I think that if a smoker is able to buy cigarettes everyday than they should pay for their own exams. Tobacco companies offer a product and it is the customers decision to use it or not. I think that the courts should dismiss these stupid law suits. It is a reminder that so many people today cannot accept their own consequences for their actions. Very sad. What do you think?

Locally there is a Wal-mart being proposed for development. I've overheard meetings of the protest group and their real reason is quite abominable: they really want to stop development of a Walmart in order to discourage poor and homeless people, and people of certain ethnic origins from being in "their" neighborhood. The reaons they present to the public are quite different.

How can I legally expose these biggots for the racist/eliteist jerks that they are without endangering myself?

The tenet from ancient Rome is that ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it. How does this square with the current American legal system? How do we reconcile this principle with the huge pile of statutes and regulations already on the books? With the federal government producing a 200-300 page book of additional rules and regulations every workday (Federal Register, Code of Federal Regulations)? With the states all doing the same kind of thing?

There are over 100 Gnomes living at the Hidden Urban Gnome Reserve & Sanctuary. What we can't figure out is, with the American Gnome population being as high as it is, how come more of us aren't being emancipated by our "owners"? It's not like it's hard, and it is the right thing to do, so why aren't more Humans doing it? http://www.geocities.com/gnome_reserve
