Law & Ethics - March 2007

I need to take a 1st mortgage (for major repairs) out on a home that was given to me in 1996 by mom; who retains a life estate on the property. The property is completely paid for and has not liens etc.. Will I have to involve her at all, since I'm not sellling the property or preventing her from living there if she chooses? I NEED AN ANSWER ASAP; AS I AM IN THE PROCESS OF LOAN APPLICATION, PLEASE HELP!!!

Since the federal government pays out billions in disaster relief (DR), why not have property owners pay into them instead of money hungry insurance companies. When you receive money for a loss from DR, taxpayers are kind of paying themselves and the defecit isn't raised as much.

Assult is a felony but they are syaing if they can get people to write letters to the judge they can drop it down to a misdaminor.

My question about "recycling paper, glass and plastic" was deleted. There was no bad word or nothing discriminating. They even took me off 10 points.

I have contacted Customer Care. No news yet.

Where can I write and actually get an answer?

I purchased a car, and when i went to the bank to get a certified check to pay for it, the lady behind the counter asked what the check was for ( i asked her why she wanted to know, she said the government keeps track, I'm a strong believer that its none of the government's business what i do with my money ) So i told her it was for drugs, she gave me a funny look and put that on the paper, i forgot all about it, but low and behold about a week later i man called my house asking about a check i had recently writen....Now i have to fill out a bunch of forms for the Gov.

We moved into a great neighborhood last year... lots of kids and nice neighbors. Our next-door neighbors on one side are a family of 5 smokers. Our properties are very close together; when someone smokes outside, it wafts into our home. I can smell it all through the house. What can I say to them? We have 2 young kids, ages 2 months and 2 years. I don't want to have to keep our windows closed all the time, I don't want to subject my kids to second-hand smoke, but I am not so unreasonable as to see that smokers should be able to light up in their own backyards. Is there any way to compromise? We're not protected by any tenant laws as we are all homeowners. They have been nice to us, but I also don't want to anger them. We plan on living here for a long time, and it sure would be rough sharing a fence with people who are mad at you! Help!

those imams (the ones that were kicked of a plane for acting like terrorists) for trying to make a joke out of our legal system? Did you know that they are also trying to include in the lawsuit the passengers who dutifully complained about these idiots' creepy behavior? This makes me sick! These are men who claim to be religious? What kind of god would condone such evil behavior as that displayed by these imams?!

If someone makes another person a trustee to look after some land for them and then that person dies and leaves the land to 4 people (one of them being the original trustee) does that person remain the trustee or do the four people have equal say as to whatever happens to the land?

I would appreciate a quick response. Many thanks.

I am 14 years old about to turn 15 this July. Now, my boyfriend is 17 about to turn 18 this November. It looks like a big age difference, right? Wrong. He was born November 16th, 1989. I was born July 20th, 1992. The age difference is only 2 years and 8 months. I live in NC and everyone is telling me that the legal age difference is four years. Only thing is, I need an actual document or internet site that states that it is legal. Please I really need this because his parents are threatening to break us up. Yes, HIS parents and he's 17. THey baby him and this is taking it too far. Neither one of us want to break up and I Just need an internet NC law site stating that the four year age difference is legal EVEN WHEN HE TURNS 18. Please, i really need this. Please help. =[

The people in this country need to stop the madness before the courts are filled up with dumb suits by radicals against public carriers and people expecting respect from all travers. The Media needs to be told not to glorify the Imans and others who are using religion to attack our values.

Hello. I am going to be filing for divorce from my husband. We own a home and live in Michigan, but we were married in Wisconsin. Do I file Wisconsin papers, because that is where we were married, or MI, where we reside? I would truly appreciate an educated answer. (I know, call my attorney) My attorney is also his, so until I retain my own, I need to know the state issue. Thanks and god bless. : )

The technology is now here. A microchip can be implanted under your skin that would allow doctors to access your medical history in the event you had an accident and arrived in the emergency room unconscious. It would also allow you to make purchases like a credit card by simply waving your right hand under a sensor. It would solve the identity theft problem because it would be hard to lose. If your kid or grandparent gets lost it would have the ability to instantly locate them anywhere on the planet. If everyone was required to have one it would practically eliminate crime because it would give the cops the ability to track everyone at once. Imagine a bunch of teenagers spraying grafitti late at night. The cops would be able to see who was in the area at exactly what time. No more Illegal Immigration. No more smuggling. Terrorists would have nowhere to hide. So, would you let Big Brother chip you and your kids and live happily ever after? The technology is now here.

Put uncontrolled power in the wrong hands & this is the result. They protect their own. Everyone is guilty except for them. They are just legal criminals no better then mob hit men.
