I read that in Connecticut voters passed a law decriminalizing the use of marijuana, but they might amend law making it a criminal offense. Voters passed the law by a 65-35% margin and local officials are tyring to repeal it for some reason. I just would like to know how our government is supposed to work if they can just repeal any law that the voters pass?

I understand that the employer can not pay himself a salary, pay payroll tax on his salary, and then collect payments if he goes out of business. I would like to know specifically where this is addressed in federal law or D.C. law.

As a hopeful lawyer soon-to-be (okay wannabe, you made me say it) what does ethics have to do with the law?

I mean, I know ethics has good intentions. It can restrict lawyers from doing bad things. But it also gives criminals leeway to get away from the law? How do they complement each other?

If you know the origin of “ethics” (from “ethos”) and logic (from “logos”) upon which much of the laws have been built in the history of the world, you’ll see why the Ancient Greeks called them branches of Philosophy.

So why have we only taken “ethics” and “logic” from Philosophy and applied it to the law? There’s aesthetics, metaphysics, and others?

Seems like the law is just trying to keep out the others. I say get rid of ethics and everything will be fine.

Some woman posted a traumatic story of having to give up 2 dogs as they owned 6 and she stated state law only allowed a family to own 4. I don’t know of any place where this is STATE law as she said, but I did find there is such a law in Haverstraw, NY. Are there other places with such a law?

I have been doing some research into the Federal Reserve Bank and how it states in our constitution that hiring a private bank to mint monies for the government is illegal. As a result of the Federal Reserve Bank minting money, the government decided to charge the American people a “Federal Tax” to pay back interest to the Federal Reserve. However, they never put this into law.

I intend to go into a masters in urban planning but I have a strong desire to learn law and possibly go into it if urban planning doesn’t work out. How can I familiarize myself with law to such an extent that I could become a paralegal or legal assistant?

Ok. So, I was driving down the road, minding my own affairs. I notice a state trooper who pulls behind me. He pulls up close, presumably to get my lisence plate number and the lights come on.

I pull over and he writes me a ticket for a seatbelt violation. I was wearing my seatbelt. Apparently, it has to be over your shoulder. It was just hanging on my arm a little. ***? This complete bullshit!

Also, how can he make this call from 20 feet away?

Later I find out at the gas station that they’ve been pulling over people for no apparent reason all day long. What is the seatbelt law? Maybe I was slightly (and just by a fucking inch or two), but this is completley bogus!

So, our crappy state can’t generate revenue, and they’ve doing an involuntary tax increase? Is this what’s happening?

Anywhoo, what’s the law?
oh right. got so busy venting i forgot about that. alabama.

Farshad asked:


In physics we observe the phenomena and try to find out the governing laws (or rules, whatever) behind them. Now, is there a rule explaining the existence of our physical world (especially in this particular form of it if you do not believe in parallel universes)?
Consider the following answers:
1.If you say ‘Yes, there exists the law X from which you can deduce that the universe must exist’, then you have assumed the existence of this law before concluding the universe’s existence. Then where (in what universe) does that law exist when nothing (no world) still exists? Haven’t you assumed the conclusion before concluding it?
2.If you say ‘No, there is no such a law’, then what the hell is the whole physics based on? Can we believe that there are governing laws explaining every (at least most, regarding the common-though controversial-philosophical interpretation of quantum mechanics) phenomena we observe, but there is no rule explaining the biggest phenomenon ever observed?!
3.
3.If you say ‘OK, there are laws governing the universe, but its existence is an exception’, then isn’t it an ad hoc escape from the conflict? Is it more useful than saying ‘It is as it is’? If it is this much easy for you to accept such an existence without any logical justification, isn’t it the same much easy to accept God’s existence and say ‘existence belongs to God and is not ruled. The existence of the universe and its apparent rules is a result of His existence’?
4.It remains for you to deny any existence of any kind if you do not wish to face the consequences of accepting any of the previous answers. In contrast with Descartes’ famous endeavor to prove his existence, I cannot assure you of your existence. But have you ever considered calling yourself a bird while you see you are a human? At least you have denied a much larger thing that you see: your existence!
Finally, if it is so difficult to avoid accepting the answer 3, isn’t it the same difficult to avoid accepting the existence of God?
So what do you say?
