Law & Ethics - January 2007

I recently discovered that microphones have been put in the restrooms of the students in my local town. I was concerned on the legality of what the school system is doing with that? Is it legal for them to put microphones in the restrooms at school? They also have survellance cameras located outside the restroom, although not inside. My main concern is over how legal it is to have the microphone in the students restroom?

How many inmates (I don't like to use the word prisoners) are tortured & killed with out trial in Guantanamo bay torture camp (prison) since September 2001. Is it not violation of human rights or crime against humanity? Who should be held responsible for this? And what punishment should be given for those responsible for this crime? Another example of US double standards.

We are animals, and every animal fights. It's the hippies of the animal kingdom that fall victim to Darwin. What would be a hippy's solution to someone beating the crap out of them? What would be the hippy solution for a group of people killing and plundering your homes and taking your land?

Can the hippies die already and stop propagating through indoctrination? Why don't they get that even a world of law and order is a struggle to survive?

I have been on maternity leave since Nov 9th. I took my STD disability paperwork to my Doctor's office on December 4th. The fronk desk nurse told me she would have the Dr. fill it out and mail it for me. I even gave her 2 stamps! On Dec 19th I called CA STD and they said that there was no claim on file. I called the Doctor's office and the girl told me that they head nurse wasn't there. I left my number. The next day I didn't get a call back, so I called again...same thing. The third day I was pissed and complained. The other front desk nurse told me she would look in my file. She said it was mailed out Dec 20th. That's 16 days later!! I am still her waiting for a check (about 4k) and if I don't pay rent by the 5th I'm going to get a notice. I am 2 months behind on my car payment and credit cards. Has anyone been in this situation or knows what choices I have?? Please I need the advice!!

Would it hold up in court if you were granted a patent, but it was reasonably well known that the original was created well before the patent, as well as if the original creator's name was widely known for the creation?

I remember when I was in highschool and in driver's ed there was a girl who had failed the driving test 4 times already and she was back to try again. Do you think everyone deserves to drive or should it become a more strict limit on those allowed to drive? May restricting the amount of people who drive significantly cost everyone as a whole more for funding public transportation? Or might it lead to a public transportation revolution that might change everything for the better? But on the flip side may it cause more uninsured and unlicesned drivers to be on the road costing us more in insurance and medical bills?
