Law & Ethics - July 2007

Does anyone know what could happen if someone while on probation leaves state and is not found for 5 years. Probation is for underage consumption. And he was sentenced to 180 days in jail he sat out 82 (5 years ago)then was released and now he has been in jail for 96 days on a different case. Is there any chance that they will give him time served?

Overpopulation is a serious problem. Millions of children are either abandoned by their parents or confiscated by the state when the parents are determined to be unfit. My question is in two parts:

1) Should there be any limit on the number of children a person can have? Should one couple be allowed to have 20 kids?

2) Should ANYONE be allowed to have kids? Currently ANYONE is allowed to get pregnant and have a child, because it is considered wrong to force a person to be sterilized. BUT it is not considered wrong to wait for the baby to be born and take it away.

So if a woman is a convicted pedophile, homeless crackhead prostitute with no means to support a child, who is a threat to children AND will produce children with health defects due to her drug addiction, she is STILL allowed to have as many babies as she wants. The state will just wait for the baby to be born and confiscate it.

Should reproductive freedom be considered more important than the lives of the children?

My husband has pressed charges against his ex wife's husband (and sadly, his former best friend) for harrassment. He continually sent emails to my husbands place of worked, and even after a call from a police officer he just wouldn't stop. The police asked the DA to take the case and he agreed - we just got an email from my husbands ex wife offering us money to drop the charges. Now we're left wondering - is this appropriate? (BTW, we don't have an attorney for this case)

If you are getting your income from public funds, I don't think you should be allowed to buy lottery in the first place. However, if you do win, I think you should repay whatever funds you took from the public and spit the rest 50/50 with the public. Thoughts?

I think if you are living off of other peoples income ( like welfare recipients), you should not be able to buy these things. I think if you are caught your payments should be stopped and you should be given vouchers for food at the local food bank instead. Cruel?

My grandmother recently suffered a stroke, she is still of mental capability but she does require assistance..my aunt helps to take care of her, her bills, and anything having to do with her health...i was discussing with her that she should try to get power of attorney because the rest of her siblings don't really care about my grandmother or her health, they're just waiting for a big payout...my question is this what type of power of attorney should my aunt request, she doesnt need it right now but she will if anything happens to my grandmother and she becomes infirm or dies. and also if she has power of attorney on my grandmother if my grandmother dies will she be responsible for her medical bills legally?

With a recall rate of 60%, higher than any other manufacturing country, shouldn't we start a proactive process of personal boycotting of their products?

Once my grandaughters bibs were recalled due to lead content, I started my own boycot and found that life can be lived without their substandard products!!!

She hasn't written the will, because it signals death to her and frankly she doesn't want to be bothered, I don't want to be blindsided when the time comes, I want to ask her where are her insurance papers and keys to her private mailbox and other things I should know about but she refuses to give me a straight answer. What should I do?

Senator Obama said recently that Bush has not committed anything grave enough to deserve impeachment. Does that mean Obama will use Bush's abuse of power to justify his if elected? The Iraq war was started by Bush and is a war crime by most standards. Violating his oath of office by allowing domestic spying without due process and numerous other abuses have been well documented.

My landlady frequents my workplace (a bar). Numerous patrons have informed me that I am often the topic of discussion. My landlady not only discusses my home life, she also makes up lies about my doings and states that she's had to give me evicition notices regarding different incidents. My boss adds her own opinions\snide remarkes about the things my landlady has told her. Both of them are bad mouthing me, mixing my home life with my work life (which I have always kept seperate), and all within earshot of the patrons. (sometimes trying to involve them into their gossip). Without the chance of getting evicited (I'm on a month to month rental) or the chance of getting fired, what can I do to stop them from publicly discussing my life? Are what they are doing legal?

My girlfriend works for a major pubco. Her contract states that her "Normal Hours of Work" are 20+. Does her employer have to honour this? I ask this as her hours for this week have been reduced to 6 without any notice or warning.
The small print of her contract states that "The company reserves the right to increase or decrease normal working hours from time to time, if seasonal variations lead to a fluctuation in trade."
This is clearly not the case as they have recently employed more staff including some Students on Summer Time contracts.
Any ideas?

I suspect the company that I work for is planning on relocating. I also have reason to believe that instead of placing me in another position at the same branch (I am unable to relocate with them because of personal reasons) they are going to offer me an amount of money to leave the company. What is the legal amount I am allowed to ask for?
