The New “Romeo and Juliet” Law in Texas

June 7th, 2011

A new law has just been passed in Texas that is sure to ruffle some feathers, particularly for social conservatives. Really it’s more of an amendment to existing law and I’m not sure where I stand on this one. It’s been nicknamed the Romeo and Juliet law. It basically lowers the age of consent for teenagers from eighteen to fifteen and protects the consensual partner from prosecution on statutory rape charges, through the age of nineteen. Here’s the upside: under the current law, anyone who had sex in high school or immediately out of school who happened to be at least eighteen and had sex with a younger student could be prosecuted and wind up on the state sex offender list indefinitely. Obviously, this precludes him or her from all kinds of work, and will follow the offender where ever they go. It also inflates the sex offender numbers making it difficult to distinguish a potential threat from someone who merely made a mistake as an adolescent.

We’ve all heard horror stories about young people being put on the state’s list, despite eventually marrying their “victims.” I don’t know how often that kind of thing happens, but I don’t deem anyone who had sex as an adolescent to be a threat to my loved ones. Of course many social conservatives (with whom I often agree mind you), will argue that this merely continues to make society more permissive. Now, I’m willing to be taken to task on this but, I really don’t think this legal change is going to result in increased promiscuity. How many teens are really holding off on sex due to the threat of prosecution? All the new law really does is highlight the unfortunate lais·sez-faireapproach to sexuality that is predominate in our society. It’s not government’s job to inculcate values into our families. An old governmental principle states that a leader should never make a law he is unable to enforce. That’s what the statutory rape laws had become, largely unenforceable. As I see it, all the state of Texas did, was make the law enforceable.

HCG Hormone Weight Loss Clinics, what to know

December 5th, 2010

Weight Loss Through Pregnancy HormoneAs any of us who have dealt in any area of business as either a vendor or consumer know, a good reference is very important. Shoot, at the very least any of us can understand how far a good reference can get us when it comes to job hunting.

Should I Inject Hormones in my body?

Well, let me tell you today that when it comes time to visit a HCG hormone weight loss clinic to begin your weight loss journey: get a reference!

If you haven’t heard any horror stories yet, just do a little research and you will. Whatever the success rate of HCG weight loss might be, it won’t matter much if you don’t found the right clinic to aid you in the program. So here are a few recommendations when it comes time to choose.

Use whatever HCG clinic directories you can find. In these directories are a number of clinics that you would be able to find. Two good one’s that have been found are on hcgweightloss.com and hcgproviderdirectory.com.

The first one gives a star-rated system to most of it’s listed clinics that will help you to know of it’s quality and the second one informs you of a “Trim You” certification that certifies the clinic as one that follows the founder, Dr. Simeons, procedures and protocols closely.

If you are unable to find any of your local clinics listed with a HCG clinic directory then it is recommended to do to things. One, check out any local business directories that give clinic references or forums where people give testimony of the visit or to ask the clinic itself to give you references of current clients.

Flight Horror

November 19th, 2010

Terrorists Airplane FlightNovember and December are some of the most traveled months of the year. Flying is the most popular way of travel, it saves a ton of time and if you find the right deals, it could save you money. There are many horror stories of flights that have gone wrong. If you are flying out of Tyler Pound’s Airport you may want to know which airline have the safest history.

American Airline is one of the most popular airlines. But I have just recently discovered that not every horror story is reported. A flight coming out of Washington D.C. had to take an emergency landing after only being in the air for about fifteen minutes.

After they landed they asked all of the passengers to leave the plane. There were no other planes around them, which began to seem like that this situation was serious. The fire department showed up and they began to look for a fire within the plane. The fire department began to throw foam into the luggage compartment.

The passengers were not told where to go or what to do. There was no one to greet them or help them. They had to call information to hear a computerized message. They asked a couple employees of the airline where they were suppose to go and the employees had no idea what they were talking about. There was no costumer service. No news stations nor news papers were there reporting on the emergency landing.

If there is an emergency like that I would expect there to be great custumer service and someone there in person to help out and guide the passengers to where they were expected to go. So before you travel this holiday season you should check on the airline and their customer service during an emergency.

There are plenty of horror stories floating around out there about people being scammed by their real estate company or pressured into taking some type of action before they weren’t ready to. There are stories about agents who convinced their seller’s to accept a low offer just so that they could get their commission check, as well as buyer’s agents who constantly presented properties to their buyer’s that were way over the established maximum price range.

Well, unfortunately, these things do happen when you deal with unethical or barely qualified Tyler, Texas real estate companies. This isn’t the way it should be and those bad apples really give all real estate companies a bad name. You shouldn’t be wary of partnering with one of the many Tyler, Texas real estate companies, however. You just need to be sure of who it is you are hiring.

You’ll want to look into each company you are considering to find out as much as you can about them. You can search for reviews on the Internet, check to see if there have been any complaints with the Better Business Bureau, and conduct your own in person interview. In your interview, you should ask about the qualifications and performance history of the company. You should also make your expectations and intentions very clear from the beginning so there are no miscommunications further down the road.

If anything about the Tyler, Texas real estate company you are considering strikes you as off, then continue the search. You’ll find the right one with a little searching.
