Law & Ethics - May 2007

but don't know if it will even matter. She had a dog that ended up getting really neglected not entirely her fault health problems. She really wants one of my puppies but I really don't want to see the same happen to him so I made the suggestion of writing up a contract and having it notarized that if I find him starting to get like there old dog I would take him away but should that ever happen will I legally actually be able to take the pup back from her?

I have a $500 debt for over a month to my ex-wifes attorney. Received a letter from my ex-wifes attorney stating that if I did not pay him the court appointed amount by mid May, he would attach my wages. Can he do that if I send him $50 a month?

Several months ago my hubby sustained a serious back injury. He had to file for social security. When we got our first letter of denial ( which was no suprise) it listed all the things he had wrong with him. In those diagnosis a descending aortic anneruysm was listed. I called his doctor and asked for the nurse to look thru the record to see when this was found. I got no answer. I then wrote a letter asking when was this discovered? A few weeks later we get a letter stating " due to you complex medical history I can not treat you anymore, you need to see a doctor that can better suit your medical needs" We have an appt with the social security lawyer next week and I am going to ask to see the MRI's and CT scans that he has. I want to know when the anerurysm was discovered . Do I have the right to seek legal counsil due to the fact that the doctor was neglegent in not telling us. If he is not guilty why did he drop my husband after seeing him for 5 years? Any opinions?

I am writing an essay about gun control.

My thesis is somewhere along the lines of "Supporters of gun control laws in America say that more gun control laws will save lives, but the fact of the matter is that the current laws we have now are doing very little to prevent deaths and adding more laws would create a more hostile environment."

But I am stuck about what to consider for my main points.

All help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Washington Times, todays editorial.
Kent Conrad "conceded that reducing the so-called tax gap would not provide enough money on its own."
Without any way of paying for their spending increases, Democrats are left with their old standby: raising taxes — which is what the Democrats' budget proposal in fact does. By failing to extend the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax relief, the Democrats' budget will result in a $900 billion tax increase over the next five years, the largest tax increase in U.S. history. Beginning in 2010, millions of American families would face punishing tax increases. Families with the lowest incomes would face the heaviest increases.

Did you happen to notice how quiet the Pelosi/reid regime was about that. Same old tax and spend. It didnt work for Johnson or Kennedy and it sure wont work now.

GO RUDY!!!

This is in response to a comment made in one of my other questions, stating "You can't blame Mexicans for wanting a better life". If Mexicans want a better life, why is it the responsibility of the United States to provide it? Why doesn't Mexico work to solve its own problems instead of the president asking the United States to ease immigration laws?

Mexico's problems are not the United States' responsibilities. It's not MY fault, as an American from immigrants, that Mexico won't provide jobs because it is relying on the United States to produce all of its income...

I don't assign blame to anyone, nor to I claim to know how or exactly why. What I know for a FACT is that the 911 commission was a half baked farce. The fema report was inconclusive and the NIST report lol lol referred to how great a job the fema report did on subjects like building 7 which the 911 commission completely left out, and the fema report admitted there needed to be further investigation. Of course that is not impossible, because most of the evidence was destroyed. I am not talking about from the collapse either. It was recycled. Hauled away by a company called "Controlled Demolition"

I have tobacco free, niccotine free, tar free herbal shisha. Are there any laws out there that say minors can't smoke it? So far as I know it's alright as long as they're not in public.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Just because you support the rights of holocaust deniers does not means you support what they have to say.

If the government can make writting or speech illegal they can therefore reinterpret history as they see fit.

I say let these idiots say whatever they want and let the public be the judge.

I would rather know who these people are so I can challenge their views than to have them keep their thoughts entirely private (and unchallenged).

The person who is selling the land, along with his heirs and successors, maintains the rights to any oil, gas, or minerals found on it - forever. He didn't mention anything about this during our discussions of the purchase but now it's in the contract. This is an oil rich area, so I understand that this is standard language on a contract. However, I don't think it's mandatory. I have requested that he remove this clause. Is this reasonable?

Last week the House Judiciary Committee, egged on by radical homosexual groups, passed what can only be called a Thought Crimes bill. It’s called the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. But this bill is not about hate. It’s not even about crime. It’s about outlawing peaceful speech—speech that asserts that homosexual behavior is morally wrong.

Some say we need this law to prevent attacks on homosexuals. But we already have laws against assaults on people and property. Moreover, according to the FBI, crimes against homosexuals in the United States have dropped dramatically in recent years. In 2005, out of 863,000 cases of aggravated assault, just 177 cases were crimes of bias against homosexuals—far less than even 1 percent.

I have been publicly named in repeated blogs, being called a whole array of untrue and vicious things, like thief, liar, fraud, etc. This person has "threatened" to publish my rap sheet and booking photos (both, however are non-existent), has published my tax, real estate and dmv information. (all of which is, of course, available online anyway)
I am a private person, yet my real name is being used. Do I have any recourse? The hosting company simply refers me to the blogger. The blogger remains anonymous however, and unknown to me. This has gone on for about a year now.

A dry cleaner is being sued for $67 Million dollars because they lost a pair of pants. The pants belonged to an "attorney" (probably a misnomer) who is suing because the pants were "special".

Minimally this is lawsuit abuse. The dry cleaner has already offered over $12,000 in what is tantamount to extortion, but the jackass continues to press the lawsuit. This wreaks of vengeance and I believe to be unethical behavior - when does the ABA step in and slap this guy down? And we wonder why attorneys have horrible reputations...
