executive orders, constitutional
Feb 3rd, 2012 by lawsuit

Is an executive order still binding on the American people if it violates the Constitution?
That may be one thing that many people wonder about…

Are we now living in a land where there is no longer a congress?

Do we have a dictator and chief in office?

When will congress act to secure the future of the United States?

In many ways we have some very troubling things happening all around us the stock market is very volatile.

Millions of Americans are out of work and yet we continue down the prickly pathway that has put us in danger of default.

FTC guides and Taco Bell?
May 27th, 2011 by lawsuit

Deception, is a big problem in Advertising these days and more so among Eating establishments and their commercials, you see pictures of Huge three foot Pizzas, 14 inch hamburgers, yet when you get to the restaurant you find that what you get is not the same thing as what you are shown.

Is this not Deception?

We see the keyword used all the time when the FTC goes after someone they think is being deceptive, totally subjective process for the most part, or is it?  With regard to fake merchandise certainly it is easy to see that yes they are being deceptive however one has to wonder, about this entire subject, are restaurants being deceptive in showing the consumer a ten foot high product but when you go to buy that product, you find it is about four inches in diameter, not three feet in diameter, which bring up the question, does the consumer know that they are not going to get what is being show to them?  Logically yes, they know they are not going to get a 12 inch hamburger…

However here is the real question, does the subconscious human mind know this?

Is it possible that some commercials are deceptive by the psychological nature of what they show to consumers.

More importantly should the FTC step in to regulate this aspect of what is most certainly deceptive advertising practices?


Did Taco Bell change its ways, or was the story really ever true?

Well one thing for sure is this, Taco bell had little choice but to either change its practice of calling non beef (beef) or start calling it taco filling.

Not a likely outcome…

Remember the Wendy’s commercials all those year ago, Where’s the Beef, well apparently and allegedly you could say that again…

Well folks you might have to wonder if there is any connection between the new FTC guides and Taco bell, but one thing is clear,

A law firm in Alabama, (of all places) is allegedly happily filing a lawsuit,

allegedly, this is the alleged, ingredients, source, Gizmodo

Water, isolated oat product, salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, oats (wheat), soy lecithin, sugar, spices, maltodextrin (a polysaccharide that is absorbed as glucose), soybean oil (anti-dusting agent), garlic powder, autolyzed yeast extract, citric acid, caramel color, cocoa powder, silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent), natural flavors, yeast, modified corn starch, natural smoke flavor, salt, sodium phosphate, less than 2% of beef broth, potassium phosphate, and potassium lactate.

Now, as the story goes, (allegedly) at Gizmodo, Taco bell cannot legally call its beef product, beef, yet, apparently they have been allegedly doing so in some commercials, or something like that, which should come as no surprise considering the results of eating at taco bell more than once per month, (allegedly)

All kidding aside, how are the new FTC guides effecting commercial advertising?

Why is it important?

How do you feel about it?

Is it about time that some action is taken with all of the commercials on TV, there is bound to be a healthy amount of skepticism, I know I sure think that, every day, when I see, a buy one suit at full price get 10 suits FREE, yet, we all know that your paying for those suits, or do we?

Perhaps, some do not, and that may be where this protection is needed, I know for sure that I am sick of seeing a three foot in diameter, pizza, on TV, and then when I go to pick up the pizza it turns out to be barely 14 inches, just for the math to work out right, lets add that up, 3 feet, that would be 36 inches.

Huge, pizza, right, well that my friends is not being honest, in fact the materials that these pizzas are allegedly made from is not food at all but silicone.

So, a disclaimer is in order, something like you of course know that this is not actually pizza at all but a silicone based over sized advertising tool to make you want to buy a pizza, what you may get may not actually even remotely resemble a pizza like the one your being shown.

But wait, would that not be bait and switch?

Perhaps and yes, Bingo, Yahtzee, you win the big prize.

You know it appears that advertising in our culture has long had a very shady element since the times of the carnival, barker who would yell and cajole, laugh and entertain you out of the few dollars and cents you might have in your pocket, advertising false or otherwise has been such a great part of the American culture, that separating it from our TV might be difficult, would it not be a novel idea to produce advertising that is actually accurate?

Only time will tell, it it might not be all that far off before your faced with a hamburger that actually resembles, what you would get if you went down and bought one, a pizza might soon start to look like you might get if you went down and purchased one.

Because to do otherwise, well folks that is just deceptive advertising and it is about time that some law firms start pulling the carpet out from under those jerky advertisers, right? Well, perhaps, I guess it depends on a lot of different things, you would think that in 50 years, that advertisers would have tired of trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes, but allegedly they have not and so the fight may be just warming up…

Toyota Class Action?
Apr 25th, 2011 by lawsuit

Will there be a serious effort to right the wrongs that have been done to the many toyota owners all across the nation?

In many ways, the idea that the value of any product is evidenced by what someone is willing to pay for that product.

If for example three years ago you went to look at buying a Hummer and you bought one, today you might already know that what ever you paid for it, was way too much.

The thing is, Hummer had no way of knowing in advance that there might be some issue that would cause the value of that product to decrease.

Toyota on the other hand is a totally different story.

For example My mother who is 74 years young purchased a 2009 toyota, in 2008 and paid a high price for that car, now it is worth substantially less, even by fair market standards.

Now if Toyota knew about these issues and still sold the product with the intention of never addressing these issues then that was information that my mother would have needed to know about, before paying full price for a car that was not worth half of what they sold it to her for.

So, is there a case to be made that Toyota, did my mom and perhaps millions of other motorists wrong?

There may actually be some indication that this was in fact the case.

 

Divorce Lawyer: Key to a safe Divorce?
Dec 28th, 2010 by lawsuit

There are so many issues that can cause problems in a divorce a good lawyer will find a way to overcome and serve the best interest of his or her client.

Divorce refers to the dissolution or the legal end of a marriage. Every state has its own legal requirements governing when a divorce may be granted. These legal requirements may include a residency requirement, grounds or a reason for the divorce, among others.

The grounds for divorce may vary from being fault-based and no-fault based. All these requirements vary from state to state. Certain exceptions like ‘Irreconcilable Differences’ and ‘Irretrievable Breakdown’ are common no-fault grounds for divorce in almost all states. Your divorce could be the most important financial decision in life, as well as one of the most nerve wrecking. In such a circumstance, the key person who can see you through this is a divorce lawyer.

The divorce lawyer helps you in making extremely important financial and emotional decisions like child custody, property divisions etc. You must choose a lawyer well versed and specializing in Family Law.

You can look for a good lawyer by asking around, consulting your friends, relatives and acquaintances. A divorce lawyer with references will be more helpful than the one who is completely unknown to you and all people around.

When you first meet the lawyer, give all case facts. The fee quoted by the person will be a rough approximate as the amount of legal work involved is not very clear. Usually, they charge by the hour, and a retainer fee as an advance payment may be desired by the lawyer. You are at liberty to interview a few lawyers before choosing one to represent you in court.

To be on the safe side, it’s a good idea to enquire from the lawyers the following facts:

• The relevant experience he/she has in Family Law and number of years of practice in this field.
• Steps involved in the divorce process as well as expected time frame and legalities involved.
• Filing fee and the fee that any additional legal assistants employed will ask for.
• Inquire about the Retainer Agreement policy of the lawyer/firm.
• Billing cycle of the lawyer.

A good lawyer will answer all queries, and will try to address any concerns that you may have about legal implications or your case in general.

A good divorce lawyer:

• Will always be prepared for all your hearings.
• Will know exactly what your expectation from the case is.
• Will not be able to win all hearings.
• May not be able to answer your calls 24*7*365.

Once you and your spouse start the proceedings, do not sign any paper for your partner without express knowledge of your divorce lawyer. Litigation and negotiations are little subjective so ask your lawyer about his/her policy in this matter.

A good divorce lawyer is invaluable to your case, so you should choose one carefully. Also, once your case starts, do not change lawyers unless it is absolutely necessary as this may also harm your case. In case you are looking to change divorce lawyers, make sure that you get all information from the previous divorce lawyer such as who is the judge, necessary papers etc, so a smooth transition is possible. Once you place your trust in a lawyer, do it completely and assist him/her. After all, it is your own life.

Merry Christmas drive a liberal crazy
Feb 25th, 2010 by lawsuit

You can have a Merry Christmas and guess what the constitution allows you the freedom to do that.

Yes, Virginia, you can celebrate CHRISTmas. I know it is so last century, but guess what, it is the reason for the season and in this United States of America, we still are free under the constitution,

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the united states of america.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

For millions of Americans all over the world, freedom is worth it all, many of us have sacrificed, family members, for our freedom, sacrificed our childhood, for the freedom you enjoy, it is this freedom that allows, many the freedom to carry a sign around, so make a liberal crazy and wish them a merry Christmas.

Toyota Avoiding recalls?
Feb 24th, 2010 by lawsuit

Could this be true, Are there dangerous cars running around out there just waiting to fail…

Is toyota avoiding recalls on its vehicles? Could that endanger your life and your children’s lives?

We own a 2009 Camry, they knew when they sold it to us that the car had problems, yet they never told us about it.

This is a problem, because now we have a car that is worth half as much as it should be worth now…

If you have one of these cars you should check into filing a lawsuit, because this is something that is really bad.

a wreck a min?
Feb 19th, 2010 by lawsuit

Somewhere all over the US even right this minute there is a wreck happening, even if you are the best driver in the world, even if you take every precaution, you could have a wreck, but even if you do not someone else could have a wreck and you just might be the party that is injured through no fault of your own.

Free Speech or indoctrination?
Sep 25th, 2009 by lawsuit

Will Lawsuits be filled against the school district that allegedly attempted to indoctrinate children.

Are we in america or are we somewhere else. what is happening to america?

If you have a child that was involved or is involved in the symbiotic political indoctrination, Do the world a favor,

Call a lawyer and sue the school board and the school district and sue the individual school teachers that are doing this.

Call an attorney because if you do not, you will end up with a child that will someday choose anything but you as the base of their loyalty.

Think about that for a second…

Do you see how we need to peacefully challenge this garbage that schools are trying to do to our children.

Law and Order accurate or just over dramatic?
Sep 18th, 2009 by lawsuit

One of the things you notice about television is that often they over do the story line, blame it on the writer, at least that is usually what happens, but really it may be the producer and director that is at fault and in some cases the board comes in and over rides the creative process, this usually kills a series.

So what is the deal with SVU, is it over the top or is it just another boring series gone south?
