Law & Ethics - July 2007

Well, im just curious about Embryonic stem cell research.

- About how many embryos are made and killed each year.

- Why not Adult stem cells? there hasnt been a succesful cure using embryonic stem cells yet, but there have been plenty for adult. Taking stem cells from and adult doesnt even harm them. Why kill an embryo when there hasnt been a succesful cure using their stem cells? Why cant we just use adults? it cost less first of all, its not harmful, and its proven to cure.

I recently had an interview with a Real Estate office and he told me that I would have to give up my rights as a loan officer if I was to work at his company and if I should ever leave there I wouldn't be able to work as a loan officer or Admin Assist. for a Real Estate office for another 3 years. Can they do that??

This Florida couple is suing a doctor for not diagnosing their fetus' illness accurately. If he HAD diagnosed correctly they would have mercilessly slaughtered the innocent child while snuggled safely in the "mother's" womb. (mother in quotes cause real mothers don't take a scalpel to their babies.. right?

Does anyone else want to move to the moon?

I was a fetus once. I have clear fetal memories..

I live in a new apartment complex and we have been there for 8 months. They haven't assigned parking stickers or anything like that to the residents and there is no parking when I get home (I mean 0 parking spots). I have always parking on the curb because there was no parking spots but this morning my car was towed. Apparently they painted on in white letters "tow away zone" on the curb yesterday and by the time I got home I couldn't see the "tow away" letters. Is there anything I can do? Can I take them to a small claim court for not even giving me a warning? Can I break my lease because they said in our contract they would provide me with covered parking and yet there is no parking at night? Please help!

Suppose I own a bar. It's private property, and I want to allow a perfectly legal activity (smoking). I tell all potential employees that if they work there they will be exposed to second hand smoke, and let them decide whether to continue seeking employment. I put a sign up at the front of the door telling people that smoking is allowed, and if they don't want to be exposed to it then they should go somewhere else. I hire bouncers to keep all minors out, so kids can't be affected by the smoke. In short, I have decided to allow a legal activity within the confines of my own private property, and taken steps to ensure that all employees and patrons are aware before they even set foot in the door that they are choosing to put themselves in that environment. Kids are not allowed. Everybody has the choice, but now it's illegal for the owner AND the patrons to make! Can someone explain why choosing for ourselves how we live is illegal?

Is it because I consider all I am not to be part of me and am that it is a part of me not me external or internal of me and or in the case of other a variant of his creation, rather an entitiy or big bang still a singularity of all that exists, existed, ever will exist. So that Al Qaeda I am and Bush I am AND ALL YOU I AM, Gods Beast, and I mark you all as mine.

So is it because I speak truth and say all is mine that I get punished? Or is there another reason I do not know? Please do not laugh at me, this is a serious question, I have trouble understanding and do not like getting jerked. I am sensitive and damage easy, be nice. Please. In Jesus namesake I ask you.

Please help. I work in a nursing home and workers were only allowed to smoke outside in the garden anyway, but since the smoking law the matron has now decided that you are not allowed to smoke in either the front or back garden, which basically means you have to stand over the road to smoke, there is no problem with that. We have rules on tea breaks, where you are not allowed to leave the prememsis, but on lucnh breaks you can go out, so now you are only allowed to smoke on your lunch break as this is the only time you can leave the building. Can the (non smoking) matron just start this new rule about not smoking on tea breaks, surley you are allowed to smoke in the back garden and no one can stop you.
Please Help!

I heard about a woman whose son was killed in Iraq, and during his funeral, she allegedly pulled the American flag off her son's casket and replaced it with the flag of Puerto Rico, since that's where he was from. Supposedly, she now has to go to court for disrespecting the American flag. Does anyone have a link to this story?

For several weeks a person involved in the same industry as myself has been spreading rumors and lies about me in online discussion forums. There is absolutely no truth to any of it. The person has said that other people who have been involved in business with me have told them these things. I have confronted the people and they tell me emfatically that the defamer has made up all of these lies and is just a mentally ill person that is taking pleasure in my dismay. My question is what can I do about it? Is this a crime? I know who the person is as they make no attempt to hide their identity. the allegations they are making have the potential to destroy my reputation and my business that I have worked very hard to build. The person has also stated, "I'm going to to hunt you through every forum I can find." They do this in public forums and in private messages. The administrators of these forums will not ban the person but they do remove his personal attacks towrds me. Help!?!?

Last year I settled a case out of court in mediation against an x-employer that was suing me. We settled for various reasons, one of which my attorney was in the middle of losing his license and I would have had to start the process all over with a new attorney had I chosen to go to trial. Nonetheless we settled through a judge advocate. I was required to make my first payment in the settlement 60 days later for an amount larger than what I had in my bank account or g=could immediately access. Therefore my husband and I applied for a second on our home. Once approved, which took longer than the 60 days before my 1st payment due, I paid the plaintiff's attorney the first two payments due, therefore we were caught up. This was Dec 2006, and after that I continued to execute a payment each month in the agreed $1000 per month payment. In February 2007 the plaintiffs attorney filed an abstract of judgement unbeknownist to me until May 2007, when I received notice from the clerk -recorders office that a lien was being place on my property for much more than the remaining balance owed on the judgement. Then in July I received a letter from my bank stating that my joint bank account had a levy against it.
I tried to get help from the Orange County Courts office only to be told "I didn't qualify" for any assistance, even to merely ask questions on what I needed to do to fight all of this. The only thing I have been told is I need to hire an attorney again and pay more money to fight all of this. I have paid this debt as agreed all along withthe exception of the 1st two payments while I was trying to get approved for a 2nd loan on my house. Once that was done all payments were caught us and since been paid every month. The x- employer and his attorney will not respond to any letters I have written asking why they are doing this, to release this and all payments have been made. I was led to believe that even though the initial payment was late because it was caught up and paid as agreed moving forward it was fine. Now they are trying to come up with ridiculous charges and fees and more money that I do not have to spend.
I went to the small claims court to try to file a small claims suit or counter suit or notice to vacate only to be told I can't and I don't understand why. I can't seem to file anything without an attorney. I don't have that kind of money again to go through all of this. I just want to prove that I have paid all along, have my day in court to show this so that this stops. I am $3000 away from being done with all of it, but now they are claiming I owe $10k+. What can I do?

The First Amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” There are several clauses within this amendment. How do each of these clauses protect the rights of individuals when it comes to religious freedom?
