Law & Ethics - November 2007

I have two dogs and my building only allows one. Approximately 10 other people in the building also have 2 dogs. Recently we all received letters stating to remove one of the dogs by the end of October or legal action would be taken. Nobody got rid of their other dog. Now I have received a second letter, this time from a lawyer. It seems I am the only one that received this second letter. I spoke to the other tenants that have 2 dogs and they didn't receive a second letter. Before I moved in here, I had an argument with the rental agent after I had signed my lease, and she made it very clear that she didn't like me. Could this be some personal vendetta? Why would I receive a second letter threatening further legal action and nobody else in the building did? Is there anything I could do? Is this discrimination? I would like advice from people with experience so I can figure out what my next step is.

I understand that free health care isnt "free", we would be paying for it in taxes. we can afford it. if we can afford hundereds of billions of dollars to fund the "war on terror", we can afford health care for everyone in america. my question is why dont americans want to do it? its really not as difficult as everyone thinks. if everything is run by government funding, then there is no money to be made by corporations. Therefore it wouldnt be more costly, it would actually be cheaper, because you do away with competition in that industry. people wouldnt be focused on making money, but rather helping other people.

ok obviously my last question didnt work out that well, as i got a bunch of people preaching about socialism. So here is a new question. what is wrong with helping people who need help. why is it so hard for americans to want to help out the less fortunate. I personally dont care about anyone really, from crackheads to the middle class american who cant afford cancer treatments. But im not against paying a little extra in taxes to provide health care for them, because i understand its the morally right thing to do. And dont anybody tell me i should pay for someones medical bills, I cant afford it. And for those of you who might throw the religious card and say that universal health care just supports the lazy and weak, aka sloth. go back and read the bible, look for the part about how you should treat others as you would be treated.

I just watched an airing of 60 Minutes, and they were conducting an interview with a man that killed a woman 22 years ago. They say, now he can't be executed because he's "insane." The doctors give him a cocktail of medications everyday, in hopes that he'll be "healed" so to speak, then they can execute him. WHY????????????????

I live in a European country.The person who lives on the floor below mine wants me to change some installed devices(bathroom ventilator) in the house where I live and pay the rent for 3 years because she just moved in and the noise annoys her.My question first of all is:Is it a right of mine, protected by the law,not to open my door if I don't want to? 2)Can I call the police if this person comes up to my door kicking on it,shouting and calling me stupid in the middle of the night? and one last thing:If the same person cuts off the electricity in my apartment from an outside-of-the-apartment switch can I then call the police???

hillarys health care is a scam, got an e-mail from a friend of a friend in canada, he pays out 55% of his salary to the govt. for their health care system. which he says is really only a health diagnosis system. if you get sick, they give you a drug, their is no finding out whats really wrong with you, and if you so have a problem, you may wait 2 years to get it taken care of. and in canada, they say obese people are just a drain on the system. and the drugies are given clean needles, so as not to spread any more disease, at you expense, or course, because your paying for it out of you 55% tax, and immigrants, they pay nothing, all is free to them, again at your expense. and if you break a leg and have to have a special kinda of splint, you have to pay, because its not covered, neither ar alot of diabetic supplies, and we want this woman in the white house. I think not. how many of you out there are worried about this, I know I don't want to have to pay 55% of my salary, GOD HELP US...

I remember hearing a story that Pamala Anderson was naked in her car and nobody cared except a reverend that seen her. I guess he went to the police and all they did was make her apologize to him. So i'm guessing its not illegal to be naked in public in LA?

I have a lease in an apartment in Boston, MA and my landlord wants to turn our pantry into a half bathroom. The issues I have with this are:

1) The other "construction" they are doing, which started in the summer, has basically consisted of demo, and then been left completely untouched. I don't want my apartment to be in demo for the next 9 months.

2) I don't want construction people in my apartment with my stuff while I'm at work, which is their plan.

3) I don't WANT to lose more storage for a useless bathroom, darn it! The main reason we wanted the apt was for the storage!

Any suggestions? I know it's "their" house, but seriously.

I was thinking of letting an attorney handle my parents will when the time comes so that I can avoid family squabbles. Plus, another reason for doing this is that I live a couple of hundred miles away. They have a trust. My parents do not want anyone else in the family to handle their will.
