Law & Ethics - February 2007

I just got a speeding ticket for going 131 km's in a 100 zone. (I am in canada). It's my first ticket ever in 6 years of driving and I am going to try to plead not guilty and not have to pay or at least get the ticket reduced if possible. Here are 2 things: I just quit smoking yesterday so I am totally not thinking clearly and also i was on my way back from a doctors appointment where I had a lump cut out of my leg. I am wondering do you think either of those would work as an excuse? I really do think that is why, I never speed and my brain was just all over the place thinking about these things. Comon quitting sux, someone should feel compasionatly right?! Any experiences, advice would be great. Please help me!!

The new law will make it against the law to smoke in your car when you have children with you. You can be pulled over and fined. How do you feel about it ?

he gave me the keys and let me drive away.... then he raised the price to 800... i kinda understand why because nobody gives a car away for two hundred down, and so it seems understandable he would raise the price, but im mad cause he said six... so today i plan to give him five hundred, i said you said six then went to eight, lets meet in themiddle and do seven, so if i give him five hundred today, that seems like it would be fair, and im NOT paying over five hundred, i wont. im putting my foot down. i learned my lesson to get everything in writing, what do you think i should do?

I'm on SSI and child support is vital. I file all paperwork that is requested of me and I'm always told that the law does'nt enforce child support like it's not important for children to be provided for,what happend to the law of no child left behind. I hope that the Mayer will stop running around the city and enforce child support. Why is it not evident that child support helps feed a child,helps clothe a child, helps a custodial parent give a child what they may need for that month. I feel that non-custodial parents should be jailed if they choose not to work because their wages will be garnished or not file taxes in my case so the child support is not taken. It's only obvious that they are criminals avoiding a court ordered obligation. Mr. Mayer step up to the plate, get to something that is very improtant to the state of California, the children and their well being.

It seems that in most cases, when people pursue their goals through political means and the use of government coercion, it causes harm to someone else. Do the ends really justify the means?

How would you reform welfare? I would:

1) Make it a 2 year and your off program. Unless you are ill and under a dr.s care they would help with getting your disability.

2) Require anyone on it to work atleast 40 hours a week. If your truly in need you will work over time if offered it.

3) If they have no education require them to atleast get a GED during that 2 years.

4) Only pay for Certified daycare. Have friends do it, and fraud the system.

5) Make them pay a premium for medical they recieve. If our seniors have to pay 98.00 fir their medicare plus the drug program , and they are on a fixed income why cant someone that we are making work 40 hours a week pay the same.

6)After 2 children offer them the chance to get fixed. If they wont, They get nothing extra for the new child.

I have been following this case now for close to 4 years. I know both of the parties and find it not only absurd but a waste of tax payers money not to speak of all the anguish subjected to them and there families.

Were talking about a 20 year relationship they shared, It would seem that over 600k each, should be enough to make either party happy.

So guys stop the insanity and settle!!!!!


Gay breakup heads to court in Paulding County

Lack of marriage rights hurts gay couples when they split, attorney says
By DYANA BAGBY
Friday, October 14, 2005
For 20 years, Mark Bengtson shared his life with Timothy Quinn and said he believed they would be together forever.
The two settled in Paulding County and purchased a home together in Acworth in 1998.
But three years ago, their long-term relationship soured, and the two split. On Dec. 10, 2002, a month following the breakup, their house and much of what they owned was destroyed by fire.
Now the former couple is battling in court over what remains of their assets, without the benefit of divorce procedures available when heterosexual marriages dissolve.
Quinn filed a civil lawsuit against Bengtson in January 2004 in Paulding County Superior Court, and Bengtson countersued in March 2004. The case is scheduled for trial Nov. 14.

Specifically, can I limit the number of sick days and personal days she takes (with pay?!!!) It all worked well for years, but now she is taking off a lot of "sick time", though I am pretty sure the antibiotics the doctor gave her are working. Since she is geeting very close to retirement, she is playing with us now. What are my rights, and what is reasonable? If she comes back on Monday, she will have taken 9 sick days and 2 personal days this year already.

Ive just been watching loose women and they said from a news paper report that england is the burglary capital of europe.Alot of people rob houses for drug money for heroin,so this question is to see if anyone agrees or disagrees with me that id rather see druggies on crystal meth than heroin.I hate drugs,but crystal meth is meant to be worse than herion, but both destroy lives,and get them high,so surely its better if they take drugs they can make theirselvesand dont have to rob to pay for.Im not sypethetic when it comes to drug users and know if a perfect world no one would use them.
