Resolved Question: I am confused, so I can save someones life and be sued?
California Supreme Court allows good Samaritans to be sued for nonmedical care.....The ruling stems from a case in which a woman pulled a crash victim from a car 'like a rag doll,' allegedly aggravating a vertebrae injury. By Carol J. Williams December 19, 2008 Being a good Samaritan in California just got a little riskier. The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a young woman who pulled a co-worker from a crashed vehicle isn't immune from civil liability because the care she rendered wasn't medical. The divided high court appeared to signal that rescue efforts are the responsibility of trained professionals. It was also thought to be the first ruling by the court that someone who intervened in an accident in good faith could be sued. Lisa Torti of Northridge allegedly worsened the injuries suffered by Alexandra Van Horn by yanking her "like a rag doll" from the wrecked car on Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Torti now faces possible liability for injuries suffered by Van Horn, a fellow department store cosmetician who was rendered a paraplegic in the accident that ended a night of Halloween revelry in 2004. But in a sharp dissent, three of the seven justices said that by making a distinction between medical care and emergency response, the court was placing "an arbitrary and unreasonable limitation" on protections for those trying to help. In 1980, the Legislature enacted the Health and Safety Code, which provides that "no person who in good faith, and not for compensation, renders emergency care at the scene of an emergency shall be liable for any civil damages resulting from any act or omission." Although that passage does not use the word "medical" in describing the protected emergency care, it was included in the section of the code that deals with emergency medical services. By placing it there, lawmakers intended to shield "only those persons who in good faith render emergency medical care at the scene of a medical emergency," Justice Carlos R. Moreno wrote for the majority. The high court cited no previous cases involving good Samaritan actions deemed unprotected by the state code, suggesting the challenge of Torti's rescue effort was the first to narrow the scope of the law. The three dissenting justices argued, however, that the aim of the legislation was clearly "to encourage persons not to pass by those in need of emergency help, but to show compassion and render the necessary aid." Justice Marvin R. Baxter said the ruling was "illogical" because it recognizes legal immunity for nonprofessionals administering medical care while denying it for potentially life-saving actions like saving a person from drowning or carrying an injured hiker to safety. "One who dives into swirling waters to retrieve a drowning swimmer can be sued for incidental injury he or she causes while bringing the victim to shore, but is immune for harm he or she produces while thereafter trying to revive the victim," Baxter wrote for the dissenters. "Here, the result is that defendant Torti has no immunity for her bravery in pulling her injured friend from a crashed vehicle, even if she reasonably believed it might be about to explode." Both opinions have merit, "but I think the majority has better arguments," said Michael Shapiro, professor of constitutional and bioethics law at USC. Shapiro said the majority was correct in interpreting that the Legislature meant to shield doctors and other healthcare professionals from being sued for injuries they cause despite acting with "reasonable care," as the law requires. Noting that he would be reluctant himself to step in to aid a crash victim with potential spinal injuries, Shapiro said the court's message was that emergency care "should be left to medical professionals." Torti's liability has yet to be determined in court, and if the Legislature is unhappy with any judgment arising from the immunity denial, it can revise the code, he concluded. Torti, Van Horn and three other co-workers from a San Fernando Valley department store had gone out to a bar on Halloween for a night of drinking and dancing, departing in two cars at 1:30 a.m., the justices noted as background. Van Horn was a front-seat passenger in a vehicle driven by Anthony Glen Watson, whom she also sued, and Torti rode in the second car. After Watson's car crashed into a light pole at about 45 mph, the rear car pulled off the road and driver Dion Ofoegbu and Torti rushed to help Watson's two passengers escape the wreckage. Torti testified in a deposition that she saw smoke and liquid coming from Watson's vehicle and feared the car was about to catch fire. None of the others reported seeing signs of an imminent explosion, and Van Horn said in her deposition that Torti grabbed her arm and yanked her out "like a rag doll." Van Horn's suit alleges negligence by Torti in aggravating a vertebrae injury suffered in the crash, causing permanent damage to the spinal c In Texas I believe we can get in trouble for not rendering aid so this is a catch 22 situation. How is that fair, oh wait, life is not fair. flagging down a car is good idea especially if it protects me from law suit. (more...)

Resolved Question: Can you help...us all out.......we are in a pinch....?
Dear Friend, No one voted on Election Day to hand over Utah's Redrock wilderness to oil companies. But the Bush Administration cynically chose that very day to advance an outrageous plan that will sell off leases for some 160,000 acres of spectacular Utah canyonlands to oil and gas speculators. While America was voting for Barack Obama and his vision of a clean energy future, Bush and Cheney's underlings were conspiring to plunder one of the crown jewels of our natural heritage for their fossil fuel cronies. Please register your own opposition right now: http://www.nrdconline.org/ct/Wp4p8g413PJm/ The auction of Redrock country will take place on December 19. At stake are world-renowned vistas near Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, as well as near Dinosaur National Monument. The highest bidders will earn the right to turn vast tracts of pristine wilderness into industrial wastelands. It's bad enough that Bush officials went behind the backs of the American people with this disastrous scheme. But what's worse, they didn't even tell their own National Park Service until after the fact. In my mind, this theft of our heritage goes beyond the cynical -- it's criminal. What will be left to give to our children and their children if we allow this administration, in a parting shot, to destroy our legacy of public lands for short-term gain? I hope you're as angry as I am about this blatant land grab, because we've got to stop it -- and we have to act fast. The NRDC Action Fund is mobilizing more than one million Americans in an outpouring of protest over the coming days. Send your own message of opposition immediately: http://www.nrdconline.org/ct/Wp4p8g413PJm/ Tell the Bush Administration that you will not allow it to destroy one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We'll automatically send copies of your message to your two senators, your representative and to the Obama transition team, which has signaled their opposition to this disastrous attack on our Redrock heritage. The Bush Administration is racing to complete the auction of our lands before Inauguration Day, which will make sales difficult to reverse. We must fend off this land grab now -- before the oil and gas companies can lay claim to the spoils. Those spoils include stretches of Desolation Canyon, which has been proposed for national park status. Bush's own Interior Department describes the canyon as "a place where a visitor can experience true solitude -- where the forces of nature continue to shape the colorful, rugged landscape." The very idea of oil and gas operations invading these remote sanctuaries -- which have remained untouched for millennia -- is deeply upsetting. Once the dirty deed is done, our wilderness can never be restored. That's why I'm asking you to help us sound the alarm and organize now. Tell the Bush Administration to cancel the Redrock auction: http://www.nrdconline.org/ct/Wp4p8g413PJm/ Remind them that we the people are the rightful owners of this majestic wilderness and that we won't stand for its destruction. And thank you for joining with me and the NRDC Action Fund to save these beautiful wildlands for all future generations. Sincerely, Robert Redford NRDC Action Fund (more...)

Resolved Question: What's the best way to deal with this situation without damaging our friendship with our neighbors?
We live in a "bowl", if you will, we're in part of a canyon where there's 4 houses on about 20 acres. They're all beautiful houses and us and our two other neighbors keep our yards nice and we don't keep stuff sitting out around the house that would ruin the scenery that we have down here... however, our neighbors who live in the middle have kept their rv, boat, a huge trailer and just tons of their building crap down by our house... here's a rough sketch of how our properties connect, http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh187/shsyearbook/neighbors.jpg all of our backyards face towards their stuff (and no, our houses don't all look the same haha - mapquest just hasn't updated stuff in the past year.) so as you can imagine it's getting really annoying having their stuff just sitting down here (they even have a shop!!) so i'm looking for some advice as to handle this situation. we've tried not so subtle attempts such as "how much longer are you going to keep your stuff all down by our house?" and stuff like that but it's obviously NOT working. i have their son on my myspace and i've debated messaging him saying "so when are your parents going to move all their stuff away from our house?" but i don't think it'd be that great to go through the son. (i'm 18 btw... so its not like i'd be a parent talking to the son lol) anyway... any suggestions? they have nearly 5 acres and a shop they can put all their crap, and out of all places, they set it down by our house, down where everyone has to stare at it and down next to the creek and hill which totally ruins the scenery... thank you :D sorry its so long lol (more...)

Resolved Question: Have you ever heard of a 'Typo Vigilante'?
Typo Fixers Get Probation For Damaging Rare Sign PHOENIX - When it comes to marking up historic signs, good grammar is a bad defense. Two self-styled vigilantes against typos who defaced a more than 60-year-old, hand-painted sign at Grand Canyon National Park were sentenced to probation and banned from national parks for a year. Jeff Deck and Benjamin Herson pleaded guilty Aug. 11 for the damage done March 28 at the park's Desert View Watchtower. The sign was made by Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, the architect who designed the rustic 1930s watchtower and other Grand Canyon-area landmarks. Deck and Herson, both 28, toured the United States this spring, wiping out errors on government and private signs. They were interviewed by NPR and the Chicago Tribune, which called them "a pair of Kerouacs armed with Sharpies and erasers and righteous indignation." An affidavit by National Park Service agent Christopher A. Smith said investigators learned of the vandalism from an Internet site operated by Deck on behalf of the Typo Eradication Advancement League, or TEAL. Authorities said a diary written by Deck reported that while visiting the watchtower, he and Herson "discovered a hand-rendered sign inside that, I regret to report, contained a few errors." The fiberboard sign has yellow lettering with a black background. Deck wrote that they used a marker to cover an erroneous apostrophe, put the apostrophe in its proper place with white-out and added a comma. The misspelled word "emense" was not fixed, Deck wrote, because "I was reluctant to disfigure the sign any further. ... Still, I think I shall be haunted by that perversity, emense, in my train-whistle-blighted dreams tonight." Deck, of Somerville, Mass., and Herson, of Virginia Beach, Va., pleaded guilty to conspiracy to vandalize government property. They were sentenced to a year's probation, during which they cannot enter any national park or modify any public signs. They were also ordered to pay $3,035 to repair the watchtower sign. The TEAL Web site now has only this message ? "Statement on the signage of our National Parks and public lands to come" ? without a period. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080822/ap_on_fe_st/odd_sign_vandals;_ylt=AhgKdhzF_LwKf8JxPAxpzUTtiBIF (more...)

Resolved Question: I am not sure if this constitutes as cheating....?
Alright, my recent boyfriend went up to visit his ex a few days ago and they ended up talking for a few hours and even ending up snuggling/cuddling together. He told me about it and i was a little irritated at it but he said he wouldn't do it again, and i believed him. Then last night when we were driving up to the canyon to look at stars i was slipping through his text messages and i saw that they had been talking to eachother. Apparently she had sent him a picture of her in her bathingsuit and he was commenting how hot she look in it. And they were debating who was more attractive between the two of them. and how he was still in love with her and how he had told me about their little escapade the previous day....do you think this situation constitutes as cheating?
