I have a large 50+ year old tulip tree behind my garage. The trunk is 3.5 feet thick, 1/2 of it is on my property and 1/2 of it is on my neighbor's side (I have a surveyor's map, so I'm sure). I want to cut it down because it's slowly growing into my garage roof and pushing against the wall. I'm also worried about big falling branches because this type of tree is a very soft wood and it can break under it's own weight pretty easily, and I've already had my car, fence and garage roof damaged by some. He's also had some branches fall into his own yard, any one of which could have easily killed him or his kids. But my neighbor is reluctant to let me take it down because he likes the shade it provides. And even though I feel he ought to pay 1/2 the cost of removing the tree, I offered to pay for the whole thing just to get it over with. But although he's friendly in person and tells me he'll "let me know", he never answers my letters or my phone calls in order to give me the go-ahead.

i have just read in a magazine 8/23/07 that the supreme court has reversed its decision on the 96 year old ban on price fixing which was an automatic violation of the sherman antitrust act . it is now legal for manufacturers and distributors to agree and set prices. in my openion this is going to effect the price of goods tremendousely.discount stores may no longer be able to buy at lower prices if the prices are fixed by the manufacturers.this will raise all retail prices. i have not heard anyone on the news talking about this has my head been a hole? how do you feel,and have heard of this.

She has been a trouble maker since about a month after she started. Refuses to do what I ask of her. Insubordinant fits her daily. My boss said to let her go. I am not a chicken but this woman can't take orders from anyone. Her daughter is in a special school because of her lack of being able to mind anyone.

I hate to say I am scared of her, but I don't trust her.

Should I call the police before I ask for her work keys? I need an answer very soon!

Why does a judge go through a trial, convict someone of a crime, and hand out a ridiculous sentence? I read a story where a former klansman got 3 life sentences for killing someone back in 1964. Why not just give the person life without parole or the death penalty? I don't get it. Can someone explain this to me?

As someone who has served in the military and been deployed I understand the hardship of being away from loved ones and friends, and I truly appreciate the sacrafice our troops make to keep pur country safe.

However, I am against the war completely, because it was predicated on lies, and the fact that we invaded and deposed the government of a nation that had no connection to 9/11. Yes Saddam was an evil dictator, but so are the presidents of North Korea and Sudan as well as other nations.

The point is I support our troops because of thier sacrafices they make for our country, but it angers me when good people die for the benefit or corporations and the military industrial complex. My wish is that all our troops be home with thier families.

Sometimes war is necessary, but if your going to send our troops to fight and die, the governemnt should have the g*ddamn common curtosy to be honest with us, but that's just me.

We want our Children back in the homes in America. No more experimenting on Children taken from American families, done under covering of Children and Family Services.Which is Socialist Government, hidden secrects of worst kind, being done. Bring crime into open Courts, for people to be judged by their peers.The Media in America is protecting the bad guys, making everything look like it is the parents. This is no different than what Hitler did. Only the Media did not get pictures here in US, because the names of children are removed and they were given numbers, at their deaths they are cremated and burried in unmarked graves. People relate to names not numbers. Heaven forbid if they had to find a child, because they are sold, 1/2 of the teen prostitutes are from foster care. Government saying our little boys and girls. Are we looking directly into the eyes of Satan, himself. On Election Day, we will not forget. More information on my 360 blog, open to public. Names of Drugs and Co,s .

I am a highschool student and I want to participate at a movie contest and will probably use sountracks from world-wide-known singers and composers. Will I need any copyrights for that, considering the fact that it is a non-profit activity (I will not be selling the film, or something like that) (ofcourse, the contest involves money :D ) ??? Or is it enough to mention the singer, composer, album and others at the end of the movie?

My husband works for a pivate electrical company(wireing houses and such). He doesnt have his license, so i guess you could consider him an apprentice. The issue is effecting the whole company, not just him. The owner has put GPS systems in all of the work vans, he can see how long it takes them to drive to a work site, how long the van idols, if they are speeding, if they take a longer route than nessesary. And on top of that the owner isn't going to pay them for the drive to the job site anymore. This means, he has to be at the shop at 7am, if it takes them an hour to get to a job site, thats an hour that he isnt going to get paid. Is this legal? And, if they are not getting paid are they considered "at work" will they be covered under the comanys auto insurance if they aren't "at work"?
Thanks for your help!!

I just bought a car and the loan is in my name but the registration is in my ex-boyfriend's name. The title was supposed to be in both of our names but my ex got the title and put it in his name only. We had a verbal agreement that I would keep the car and he would take our other vehicle. He stole my car in the middle of the night and left me with the old car. Will I have to take him to court? I stopped payment on the car but he will ruin my credit because he's not making the car payments. I want to get my name off of the loan. Please help!
