Law & Ethics - December 2007

changed on my birth certificate. However throughout my life the public school system, social security administration, and the driver motor vehicle used the incorrect spelling. I learned that there was a change in the spelling of my name just a few years ago. I was wondering that sense my correct name is not on my student loans, can I get out of paying them?

I've heard many horror stories about health care providers making up false excuses NOT to cover expensive operations and as a result many people have died. The Ceo's of these providers receive bonuses for the more claims they turn down. Has anyone had a MAJOR opperation covered without a fight? Other countries have free healthcare. Would this solve the problem? Do you think if we end up getting that benefit too, operations would not be denied or would the Government deny them bc they are paying for them?

I have a 70 acre farm in a small town. (not sure of population, graduating class has 50-80 kids) Not really a lot of violent crime, but I am worried a little that if it were to happen, I don't have anything more than a hockey stick or golf club to protect my wife and I. I was thinking of getting a 20 gauge shotgun or something small like that. What to you think?

Please spare me the "Guns are evil" answers. Thanks.

Does anybody know if being on your cell phone while driving in PA is banned yet? I heard that it went into effect on Nov. 10th, but nobody has confirmed this for me.
Also, if they do have to be hands free, is it a primary or secondary offense? Thanks.

Except for the unfair and false 1924 conviction (it was unfair because it was politically motivated and it was false because as far as I know the police killed the martyrs and all he did was save some people from the same fate).

And if he has never been convicted of any of those ALLEGATIONS, then what happened to the innocent until proven guilty thing? In reality, it's always guilty until proven innocent for men otherwise no man will ever get arrested or not get bail until proven guilty. With women it's a completely different story. I have heard of women killing their innocent children and raping other innocent children and they still get bail and even after conviction get out soon if they got any jail time at all.

Someone paid me by check in Illinois, and it bounced with the message "account closed." I researched the person and she's scammed other people doing this same thing. (googled her email). I was wondering what actions I can take against her?

The amount was only for $100, but I hate seeing how she's been doing it to other people. Though the amount is small, would my claim be enough to issue a warrant for her arrest? Is this considered a felony in the state of Illinois?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am being cyberbullied all the time on myspace. I have never responded to any of my hatemail, I have only blocked them and prevented anyone who is not my friend to contact me. However, these boys at school have stolen my pictures and made a fake profile of me posting humiliating comments and messages. I have now deleted my myspace page, but I am terribly humiliated by the fake profiles they have made about me. I am also being bullied at school by the same boys. They have put me through so much trauma that I tried to commit suicide and I was placed into a sychiatric hospital for two weeks. As soon as I came back to school the bullying was right back where it started and the teachers did absolutely nothing about it. I had become very angry one day and I cursed them all out. They got no consequences for bullying me and I was given a ticket and I was suspended for two weeks. Can I sue the school for this harrasment that I am experiencing?If so will I have a high chance of winning my case?

A married man can be easily sent to a jail by his wife under S. 498A of IPC and the new law on THE MAINTENANCE & WELFARE OF PARENTS AND SENIOR CITIZENS BILL 2007 punishes adult children for not caring for their parents.

In an Indian household as such a husband is being made a minced meat both by the wife and the mother. Now with the intervention of law this drama would attract new colours.

So from now on will the parents of a new born son drown their son in a cauldron of milk like they used to do before decades or abort the male foetus! i know i am stretching the question but is the government not responsible for having a proper social security system rather than law makers reminding people of their moral obligations.

(this question doesn't refer to situations were a man is wilfully at fault)

Some people argue that the first naturalization laws stated that only "free white persons" could apply for citizenship, and it was white males that were "free".

Imagine if the US had been settled by Chinese or Arab cultures and immigration laws were designed to preserve these cultures.

Is it right that the nation remain majority white and other darker immigrant populations be controlled?
