Law & Ethics - April 2007

Parents who beg for help see family members who can't be hospitalized no matter how much they need help. This leaves the mentally ill vulnerable OR the general public in danger. Anybody think of trying to change those laws? Any SMART psychiatrists out there?

Federal judges were saying voter ID laws might be unnecessary laws - laws against a rare crime, which, as a (imho, intentional) side-effect would suppress many qualified voters. Nobody has intentionally risked prison just to illegally cast one vote (which is what voter ID is about). So Bush pushed Attorneys to prosecute bogus cases. Has there ever been a single conviction of anybody for voting under a false name? If not, what's the ID requirement for, if not to suppress legitimate voters who lack ID (i.e. no car, thus no Drivers License)? Honest attorneys refused to prosecute bogus cases, so Bush fired them. If that is true, it is ample grounds for impeachment.

Some people say we don't need healthcare b/c a hospital has to treat you even if you are unable to pay, but a single mother with 3 kids works at Wal-mart and does not have insurance and gets strep throat and has to be treated at the ER. Then the hospital sues her for $2000 for the visit and the shot she recieves and she has to pay for 5 years for getting sick and meanwhile has to support her kids. This is not healthcare and it is not fair. People in an advanced society should have a right to healthcare and other basic necessities of life without being rich.

Why do they want this deadly force in their hands? Most either kill with them (even if its animals) or fantasize about using them to kill (maybe animals maybe a perpetrator). Isn't this desire to kill a mental problem? One that is so large that our whole society has accepted it?

I understand that he used a gun, but the gun didn't walk itself into that school and start firing itself. So therefore those of us that use guns for sport get to suffer for all the potential phsycotics in society. What about box cutters, knives, axes, fireworks, gasoline or diesel and a match, all these things can be used to harm people and have been used. Should we ban these items as well?

As far as the school shootings why don't schools have armed guards to be on hand and respond to situations right away?

Manhattan, NY: My court appointed defense attorney is virtually brain dead, neglectful, and about 22 years old (no offense). I simply can not let her represent me. She already allowed me to be sent to jail for 2 nights before I made bail.. and I have no criminal history whatsoever. My case was adjourned this morning until May 17, where I MUST show up with my own attorney. I have a little money but not much and I am looking for a lawyer who can help me. Preferably a good one (don't laugh). I'm charged with Grand Larceny (D Felony). I have a copy of the complaint against me and will be receiving my complete case file tomorrow morning from that nitwit attorney I mentioned above. Can someone help me?

Please all women ( no matter race, sexuality, or religious beliefs)

Don't be fooled into thinking that partial birth abortions were something a selfish woman did because she didn't want her child. They were only given to women who lives were in severe danger, or the child were severely deformed or sickly. The law that passed yesterday still left it so these mothers could have a partial abortion....So ask yourself, if only certain people were getting partial abortions in the first place, why making a law stating that ONLY these mothers can get one? I'll tell you why it is a step to overturn a women's right to have and make a choice over her own body. And that ladies is the slippery slope to take away everything the WOMENS movement stood for....We only make .77 cent on the dollar versus men.....We make up over half of a population, why can't we decide what is right for our bodies. Nobody is saying abortion is right, but IT ISN'T ANYONES BUSINESS BUT THE WOMANS!!

What's Next.....

I just can't imagine civilized people eating horsemeat. Raising horses for the purpose of killing them for their meat. They say by banning the sale of horsemeat, would lead to neglected horses that were of no use to their owners. Hmmmm They would just no longer be raising horses for slaughter. I can't even believe that I didn't know it was being done withing 100 miles of my home. A federal appeals court decided in March of 2007 to block the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture from providing horse meat inspections for a fee, which effectively will shut down this operation in Illinois. If that ruling is overturned, the only way to shut this Company down in DeKalb, IL is for the Governor of Illinois to sign legislation. Please citizens of Illinois write or call your legislators and tell them how you feel about this happening under our own noses. Let the people of France, Belgium and Japan raise their own horses for consumption. Are they starving in those countries with nothing else to eat?

American second Amendment states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. " since a Militia can have five somewhat different meanings:

1, Defense activity when it is defense of the public, its territory, property, and laws
2, The entire able-bodied male population of a community, town, or state, which can be called to arms against an invading enemy, to enforce the law, or to respond to a disaster
3, A private, non-government force, not necessarily directly supported or sanctioned by its government
4, An official reserve army, composed of citizen soldiers,
5, The national police forces

Should guns be allowed to be carried whilst the USA isn't at risk of loosing the security of a free State?

OK, I have heard many Liberals advocating gun control. Now we all know that the 2nd Amendment calls for ownership of guns, the debate is whether or not it is for PERSONAL ownership or ownership for a state militia.
But either way, it’s a tricky situation. If we try to ban guns, it’s kinda like “We MAY be treading on their second Amendment rights, but we may not be”

But, I can understand where you are coming from. The idea is, the rights given to us by the second Amendment are not worth our safety. In other words, we may or may not be taking away rights, but our world will be safer, so it is OK. ( I may not agree with that, but I understand where you are coming from)

So, if we somewhat fudge our right to bear arms in the interest of Public Safety, can’t we fudge another right, in the same interest? If we are going to keep criminals from owning guns to protect us, can’t we also silence organizations like NAMBLA to protect our children?

I mean, you guys say that guns benefit nothing to our society, and I’ll go along with that (even though I don’t agree). But isn’t it just as obvious; in fact, more so, that NAMBLA contributes even less?

Our nation IS a haven for criminals, and that’s sad. But it is also a haven for sex offenders, who often get out of jail on parole in only a fraction of their sentence. So, if we make this country safer for gun victims, why not make it safer for sex offender victims, also?
