My daughter works at a grocery store and while gathering carts she noticed a purse, she brought back into the store and her employer asked her to open the purse to look for identification, ther was no I.D. but a huge wad of $100.00 bills rolled up into a wad strapped with a rubber band. The employers placed the purse into the store safe. What i want to know is does my daughter get to keep the money if the purse goes unclaimed after a certain period of time?

Until last week, I just thought it was something that happened by her choice without any persuasion from anyone else. This person who I know longer claim to be related to informed me that she talked to him the day before she did it and he told her to go ahead and do it. He said the reason he didn’t stop her was from something having to do with this long running vendetta that has been going on in my family for years and years.

Was a crime committed, if he was in fact telling me the truth? If so what would it be?

What are the legal grounds and theories being cited by the USA in its prosecuting foreigners and their foreign corporations that run internet gambling sites when such is legal in their countries? Has the USA just ignored the ruling favoring Antigua on this issue? Seems to me just another example of the USA being a hypocritical bully making the rest of the world hate it.

My husband and I moved into a temporary house until we could move into our new home, and transferred our 4 year internet account with Speakeasy to the temporary home. When we decided to drop speakeasy for a cheaper high speed provider, speakeasy said that transferring our account to the temporary home was a 1 year contract, and to break it would mean a 195.00 contract break charge. We signed no contract, nor were informed of the terms of service ~ that there would be a minimum of 1 year We requested the written contract, and made multiple calls to speakeasy, but were given NO response whatsoever. Yesterday Speakeasy used our auto pay bank card numbers and charged the fee to our account with NO warning, and again, NO response to our calls. Can they do this? Is it legal for them to use our bank account for other fees beyond services provided? Do we not deserve due process BEFORE they can take this money?

It is very easy to give up a right. If you want it back, expect a fight. Since 9/11, it seems as though people don't care.

Making one language preferential over another is un-American and according to some of our forefathers it was "unpatriotic" and unfair to the immigrant population.

Many argue that translating/interpreting is costly but compared to the lawsuits that can result by not providing this type of assistance, it's a pittance. By doing this, you are guilty of NATIONAL ORIGIN DISCRIMINATION. You don't deprive a person in a wheelchair of a ramp, a deaf person of an interpreter, or an illiterate person of an explanation. Depriving someone of their language is violating their civil rights!

Last I checked, the US Constitution, was the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND and states that we have a right to free speech. It doesn't state that it has to be in English and FYI, the Articles of Confederation were translated to German so the German pop. could understand their rights.

I went to trial for doing 50 in a 35. (porter county, IN). I tried to show that the radar gun used by the officer was not functioning properly. He admitted that he did not calibrate the gun at all, he also admitted that he did not use or have any log to that effect. He also said that he did not know enough about how the radar gun works or anything about tuning forks. The judge asked me if I had a manual on the gun. I didn't. So she found me guilty. Can I now appeal her decision?

An initiative filed by proponents of same-sex marriage would require heterosexual couples to have kids within three years or else have their marriage annulled.

Initiative 957 was filed by the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance. That group was formed last summer after the state Supreme Court upheld Washington's ban on same-sex marriage.
Under the initiative, marriage would be limited to men and women who are able to have children. Couples would be required to prove they can have children in order to get a marriage license, and if they did not have children within three years, their marriage would be subject to annulment.

All other marriages would be defined as "unrecognized" and people in those marriages would be ineligible to receive any marriage benefits.

land (inheritance) was left by a deceased parent to a individual.... later on during his marriage money was borrowed and the land (inheritance) was used as collateral and that loan was paid off. Later both parties divorced and nothing in the divorce mentioned the land. A few years later he remarries and decides to sell the land...then when land sells and the title company is doing their part they come across the old bank note (1991) where the money was borrowed and her (ex-wife) signature was on the note (paid off)...does the fact that they borrowed money and used the land as collateral mean now almost 16 years later...the ex-wife may have some rights to the proceeds of the sale???
