Law & Ethics - November 2007

The "parents" of Baby Grace have now confessed to torturing their child to death in order to make her say "please" and "yes sir." They did not succeed in getting any of the desired behavior out of the child but they did manage to inflict horrible pain on her and kill her.

If torture can't get the desired responses from a child, how can it work on an adult?

If you watched the republican debate last night on CNN, you probably recognize the question. The debate question was between Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney. Mike Huckabee supports giving scholarships to illegal imigrants for college, if they have been in our school system since kindergarten. His argument was that we should not make children pay for the mistakes that their parents made. Do you agree, or disagree, and why?

Are you pro life, or do you believe women should have the choice to terminate a life? Do you believe in punishing people by death, or do you believe it's morally wrong? Do you believe abortion and the death penelty are related issues, and why?

Of course, I have a strong opinion on these topics, like most people. I'm interested on hearing how everyone else feels.

At about 10:00pm on a saturday night I was traveling South on I-85 about to exit off of Beaver Ruin Road. On the far right shoulder an officer had a vehicle pulled over. Being that I was getting off on the exit coming up I was already driving far under the posted speed limit, so I stayed in the right lane closest to the officer and proceeded with caution. As I was exiting the freeway, I was pulled over by an officer who told me that I failed to abide by the "Move Over Law".
For those that dont know, the move over law states that when an emergency vehicle is on the side of the road, drivers must move over one lane if possible. If traffic is too congested or it is an unsafe situation for the driver to merge into the next lane over, the law requires drivers to slow down below the posted speed limit and be prepared to stop.
I was driving below the posted speed limit and cautious of the officers location. There was a car to the left of me and besides, I was exiting within the next 200 ft.

I've heard the argument that since criminals will have guns "no matter what" private citizens need guns to protect their families. Studies and statistics show that a gun in the house is much more likely to kill a friend or family member than to be used on an intruder. So what is it that makes them so appealing?

Don't more guns equal more shooting? Pointing a gun at a criminal seems like it would make them more likely to react violently, if only in self-defense. Easy accessability means that there are more casual criminals and spontaneous shootings.

Personally I'm not as worried about hardened criminals as I am about being shot by someone who wields a gun like a toy. It's a highly efficient instrument of death that because of our current laws can be picked up by any disgruntled high school outcast or paranoid trigger-happy neurotic. Aren't there other ways to keep your family safe? Are they really that unsafe to begin with? Maybe I just haven't lived in a bad enough neighborhood.

I don't understand how someone can support decency laws that state that women have to cover their chests, but vehemently condemn Islamic governments for having laws stating women have to be entirely covered.

I think you should be able to wear (or not wear) whatever you like. I imagine there are lots of you who disagree.

How would you justify Sharia being bad but Western Decency laws being good?

I won 3 workman's compensation hearings against JC Penney. They owe me a settlement amount. They won't pay reasonable amount owed . We must agree on an amount and they are being totally ridiculous with their offer. They don't pay into workman's comp, they are self insured,which is how they are getting away with this. No lawyer so far will help me. How do I make self insured employer pay? It seems I have no recourse at all. It seems illegal to me. I don't understand why someone can't make them pay. Workman's comp ruled they owed me,but they will not negotiate reasonably. Can some one tell how to deal with self insured JCPenney? Any suggestions would be welcome.

the 5th amendment says a person cannot be"...deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.". When it says "property," can it be interpreted as dealing with businesses/corporations/money/etc (anything that has to do w/ the economy)?
