Law & Ethics - November 2007

I e-mailed a leasing/management Co.about the harrasment that the tenants are getting from there on site manager. My moher lives in these apts. and has for5-6yrs. Since this new manager came to the apts., my mother has been harrassed and just recieved a 90 day notice to move. I feel that my mother has been discriminated, because she has H.U.D/section 8 Asst. never had a problem before, not until recently.She is the only Hispanic elderly lady who recieved a notice to vacate. There are a few tenants there who happen to be caucasion/white with H.U.D asst. that did not recieve notices like my mother. When confronted the manager she replied that the company was longer going to accept section 8. However my mother was the only one to recieve a evection notice and No body else. I strongly feel she has been harrassed and discriminated by this manager

I keep reading that the mexican drug smuggler involved in the beating of Ramos and Compean border patrol agents intends to sue the Border Patrol. How is this possible?

I thought the US government could not be sued...?

Also, if that is the case, can the US government counter-sue the Mexican government for the millions of illegal aliens living in our country?

In the past decade or so abortion has been declining(less than one million)....meanwhile IVF treatments are becoming more and more frequent. During each IVF treatment at least one if not more embryo's are destroyed. Some women require several treatments before they are pregnant. Insurance companies are now starting to include/cover fertility treatments and it's estimated that 25 million have fertility issues. Bottom line IVF treatments(and alike) are on the rise...they may soon surpass embryo's "destroyed" via abortion.

Will the fertility challenged become a new target(once this happens) of the pro-life supporters?

I work for my current job more than two years now. I have an agreement with my boss to have a few months off to visit my relatives in another country. She said that I would have to give her a leave of absence and she promises me my job back after my trip.
Few days ago, I gave her my letter of leave of absence, but she told me that I have to give her a letter of resignation for my leave and she cannot promise a position when I come back.
My company is currently under restructure and has too many staff for not enough positions; that means I will definitely not have my job back. And if I resign like she said, I will not be able to apply for unemployment.
Someone told me that my boss is not allowed to tell me to quit my job for something we both had an agreement.
Is that true? Does my boss have no authority to tell me to resign?

I just got a notice from the owner of the apartment, saying that he is "entering my house to check for a possible water leak" tomorrow. But the note was written in a quite rude way, it said "enter", not ask for an acceptable time (I know he's the owner but we live here!).
I'm guessing that my portable washing machine inside my apt is using up a lot of water..
I connect it through the faucet in the kitchen sink.
I do about 2-3 loads a day.. (big family)
but I don't know, is it illegal for me to use my own washing machine? I've lived here for 2 yrs and never got in trouble for it..
The apt has a mini laundromat but its hours are not flexible so that's why I bought a mini washing machine.

1. Is using my own mini washing machine in my apartment (in Sunnyvale, CA) illegal?

2. If it is illegal, what should I do/say when the owner visits?

My husband has worked for a restaurant for over 10 years, several times he has worked 2 months straight without any days off and a lot of times working double shifts and has never once been paid overtime. They have even shorted him hours many times as well. My husband isn't one to complain because he mostly relies on tips anyway and isn't one for confrontation but I feel this is a crock. They laid the entire staff off for almost two months while they opened up a new location and had some of the staff come back to prepare for the opening ( about two weeks of work) and did not pay any of them anything at all. Now having him work 80 plus hours a week with no overtime. Most of the staff are working overtime but he is working the most since he is one with most experience.
What can we do so that he will get paid what he is supposed to by law but where they won't find out about him and fire him for complaining? Please help!

The public has the information about tobacco why does the government have to distort our choices.

Chocolate and Sex both are dangerous to varying degrees but government doesn't regulate them.

If people want to smoke and know the dangers (likewise for drugs) let them. They are paying the costs.

Second hand smoke is a separate issue. So please ignore it or pretend it does not exist in terms of your answer.

What I am trying to get at is is it the role of government to tell us what to do and not if we are the only people affected. If you say yes then perhaps we should make sex (not for procreating) illegal unless a condom is worn. Or chocolate should be taxed since it is bad for you as well.

If you have stats to back up your opinion, even better.

And does not identify himself "as" a police officer and the guy shoots and kills him, how do you think that would be viewed in Court? I have heard of this happening in a number of cases. Most of the time they usually end up in prison, but I know of at least one case in which they had to let the guy go! I guess this is why if you go to break someone's door down, make sure you have back-up! I think it would be foolish to do it on your own anyways! You don't know whats behind that door for sure! And if you have back-up then you also have a witness!

the books print is getting smaller. I am struggling trying to read the text. I have visual aids that assist me with my studies, but I am getting more migraines & pain from the eyestrains. There was a time when I could get my textbooks in large print or on tape. But unfortunately, they don’t do that any more. As a result of all of these changes, I am struggling in school & my GPA dropped to a 3.0. My goal of graduating w/ high honors are slipping away. This has become very stressful & I am contemplating dropping out of school b/c of all of the pain that I am in from the headaches & eyestrains. The college that I attend is doing all they can to assist me with my studies. My question is, do I have a legitimate lawsuit against the publishers for not providing me with print than is easier for me to read? There is handicap parking for those who need it. We have buildings that are easily accessible for those who are wheelchair bound. Why aren’t there textbooks that are easily read?
