Law & Ethics - December 2007

In Pennsylvanina if you get a speeding ticket, and you pay it, but you pay about a dollar extra, and when you get a check back for the for the amount you over paid. Then you dont cash the check, and they never close your account, and since they dont close your account you cant get points on your license. Is that true?

Of the millions of Municipal, County, State and Federal laws, how can citizens pull together to have changes to various statutes brought forth for public debate and vote?

Reuters reports today that an Italian family named their son after the day he was born, which is Friday. After 15 months, a tribunal has ordered that he be called Gregory because they want to protect him from the stigma attached to the man in the Robinson Crusoe story. They say the name is going to cause him pain in society also, that he ought to have a Christian name.

The choice of Friday may be unusual and the world may think whatever it feels, but whose child and why does it matter what others think? I am certain that is where their interest in that child ends. He would not be privileged to turn to them for anything if the need arose.

As a trucker I have to follow Federal laws anyway, so why not just have a federal ID?
makes too much sense to me!
it could have a RFD chip and a bar code together as far as that goes. I am not scared and I have nothing to hide (it is easier to hide in a crowd anyways) I am tired of people thinking that driving is a "right" it should be a privilege. I would lose my whole livelyhood if I lost my license and end up in the poor house but I have come to terms with this and think it should be a nationwide agenda to keep highways safe and secure.
why arn't we moving forward with this??

Why is the NAACP praised for its work promoting the black race,yet if there was a National Association for the Advancement of WHITE People,all hell would break loose?
Same with all the similar examples:
The WET:WHITE Entertainment Television
The United WHITE College Fund
A Soul Train equivalent for Whites
Special Entertainment awards shows for White actors,musicians,etc. ...
I thought the whole idea of the Civil Rights Act was to enable persons of color to join in all of the rights and priveleges Whites enjoyed;no more "Seperate but Equal"
If white businessmen were as racially self-promoting as black-run businesses,there would be discrimination lawsuits untold !
What if White politicians,actors,and TALK SHOW HOSTESSES were to state openly that"We,as white people,must stand together",as is often stated on national television and radio ?
And worst of all, what if white people showed the same open disdain and contempt for black people that black people show for white ?

I'm a big play-by-play and talk radio geek. I love listening to play by play of sports from all over the country. I have also recorded tons of North Carolina Tar Heel Basketball Broadcasts and talk shows such as Opie and Anthony , Jim Rome , etc over the internet. The question is whether it's legal for me to do this for my own personal use. There was a story in the paper about a year ago http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/08/092357.php about RIAA going after XM for recording things , even if it was for personal use. On Brightspot.tv , you are forbidden from making any recording of their advertisements , even if it is for personal use. So with the legality of whether you can record content for personal use in question , is it ok for me to continue recording North Carolina basketball broadcasts and talk shows off the internet? I'd really like to listen to them on my mp3 player.

Please do not answer in a haste saying something like "report him". Because in this case you function in a governmental system, where everybody who is somebody is after abusing whatever little powers they have over public money to their personal benefits. The guy you would have to report to would in all probability be laundering more public funds. To top the situation, your perosnal circumstances wouldn't let you quit the job. Further, you cannot go the press, because the extent of laundering is not sensational enough, even as the collective abuse of financial powers has gigantic adverse effect on the overall performance of the organization.

i'm happened to view an analysis about the Dictators who took over the country from the democtric rulers. The senior press analysiser pointedout that no Dictators involved in corruption while they are ruling the country. They never misused govt tresury for their personal use. They never brought their kith and kin or atleast tried to bring to power etc., i remember not the channel but remember his answer to a question. The elected representatives who occupies power posts involved in corruption that we see in dailies..but we cry the dictators to let way for democratic path only and no one pointed out about their corruption, since there is no corruption in their one man rule. for example , the senior man said in pakistan from Ayubkahan to Mushaaraf, they never caught of corruption.. is it correct? Is there any substance in the pressman's view?

for two years now as a busboy at a restaurant. Lately, I have been getting burned out on bussing and I wanted to see whether or not I could get a job in the kitchen for something different. I talked to the executive chef and he said that he doesn't hire people with mustaches. I thought fine, I'll shave it off. I shaved it off and started to look around and noticed that there are quite a few other people working in the kitchen that do have mustaches, including the most recent hire in the kitchen!!! Is this a good discrimination case that I have on my hands? Furthermore, is this the kind of case that on a philosophical level is too frivolous too worry about. Should I just forget about suing and find somewhere else to cook, or have I been wronged enough to pursue this case? what do I need to do to build a strong case so that I can win?

25 yrs-life for actual rape or sodomy of a child and15 yrs-life for attempted rape/sodomy. Do you feel these harsher penalties will deter this crime despite the perpetrators claiming they had "uncontrollable" urges? Perhaps we'll see if these urges were in fact controllable if the crimes decreased becausethe punishment isn't worth the urge. Personally, i will be glad they are off the streets long-term.
