People are the cause of most of those ills, and they existed before big government ever existed and even before writing was invented to record the history of humankind. Government is simply a reflection of those who run it.

Article 18 of the Boulder County Land Use Code is the portion that defines terms used in the Code. It does not have a definition of "access". So where are you seeing the definition and how does it affect you? Having once lived in Boulder I'm familiar with how seriously both the city and the...

Actually Trump did not say exactly what he would do should he be elected. On most issues he was very vague about what he'd accomplished and even more vague on exactly how he'd do it. Make no mistake, his efforts here are not a noble effort to purge bad agents as Trump very much wants the public...

I agree. Some of Trump's goals I agree with. But I don't agree with the way he's going about it. It should not, as much as possible, come at the expense of hardworking middle and lower class citizens, whether in government or out. His scatter shot approach to some of these things are baffling to...

That argument would work if the driver first allowed her to sit in the car and see if the seat belt will fit. Then if the passenger can't get seatbelt around them the driver would be on much firmer ground saying "I'm sorry, but all people in my car must wear a seat belt for safety."

That is flawed logic. The law has long recognized that certain rights can be restricted over the age of adulthood and others to those under it based on their capacity to exercise the right responsibly. We all have seen 18 year-olds who can't drink responsibly, hence the reason nearly every...

This may be the first statement you've made about Trump that I agree with. There's a lot Trump's team is doing that voters had no clue were coming and some of those who voted for him might have voted differently if they had known. Trump is working hard to make America a better place for...

We can add this to the long list of technological advances that get unleashed on the world before the issues of whether and how the technology should be used are considered. As a species we still haven't learned much from our past problems with tech abuse/disasters.

What the author of that didn't mention, probably because he/she didn't bother to do the research before writing up the story, is that Michigan is the only state in the country that has a law prohibiting discrimination based on weight. Currently the law only expressly covers weight discrimination...

The problem of migrants coming into the country didn't start with Biden. We've had that problem for decades. You are correct though that problem got significantly worse during Biden's term. We wouldn't have nearly as many problems as we've had the last two decades or more if both parties in...

While written pretty poorly very generally this kind provision transfers from the grantor to the grantee all of the rights and property described in the deed except for those rights that are reserved in the deed and excluding any property that is excepted in the deed. But in order to know the...

Yes, the 1099 should go to the lawyer/law firm that handled the case. Please don't snipe at me for giving you information you already knew. I can't read your mind to divine what you know and don't know. So I provided information that I thought might be helpful. I don't see why getting more...

The U.S. should not dump all the people on Mexico. Mexico should only have to take back its own people and the U.S. should nationals of other countries back to their home countries too. The U.S. failed to stop them crossing border and its hypocritical to say to Mexico it should have a done...

There isn't a personal injury statute per se, but Internal Revenue Code (IRC) § 104(a)(2) excludes from gross income "the amount of any damages (other than punitive damages) received (whether by suit or agreement and whether as lump sums or as periodic payments) on account of personal physical...

I have my doubts about that given the slew of EOs the White House has issued the last week. I've said it before that Trump doesn't really understand the Constitution or care about following it. Nothing I've seen in the last week changes my view on that. I agree with that wholeheartedly. That's...

No. Any government employee, up to and including the president, who knowingly violates the constitutional rights of others violates the constitution and the rights of others. Period. Full Stop. Saying its ok that the government violates our rights to get the matter reconsidered by the high...

Her future living accommodations are already set should she be convicted. I think she'll find it a lot less pleasant than the place she was renting. I think it's also likely divorce is in the near future for her, too.

Sure, there are things the OP ought to try first to resolve it amiciably before calling the cops. As you noted, we don't the details to determine just how bad (or not) it really is. That's why your earlier snarky response of "invest in some earplugs if it bothers you so much" struck me as very...

So he knows the limitations on military involvement in law enforcement and still orders troops in what is clearly not a military situation. Just one of several moves he's made in the last two in which he gives a big middle finger to the Constitution. For those of you who voted for him thinking...

That strikes me as a dismissive response. Some noise you can expect. But the neighbor can't make sounds so loud that they are outside the bounds of normal use of the apartment and the neighbor can't be noisy all day and all night. There are limits to the noise a neighbor can create. There is a...
