That is why we have a court system. If animal control gets there and says there is nothing wrong, then the neighbor will just have to deal with it.
Ignorance of the law/rule is no excuse; you have a responsibility prior to doing something to verify that what you plan to do follows the rules. The courts have ruled on this time and time again, just because you didn't know it was illegal doesn't mean your are not responsible for it. If you are underpaying on your social security, the government has a way to get things back where they are supposed to be. If your company didn't withhold the correct amount, they will work out a way for you to pay it to them. If the company withheld the correct amount, but didn't send it in, then you show proof of this, and they will go after the company. They are not going to arrest you because your math was wrong, they will audit you, and all parties can work things out. Remember, if you are underpaying on you social security, you are hurting every American, if you cheat on your taxes, you are hurting every American. What about those really archaic laws? Those murder laws are pretty old; maybe I can just ignore them. If there is a law on the books you need to follow the law or accept the consequences, you can try to get the law changed, or abolished, but until then, it is still a law. Obedience of the law is not asked, it is expected. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dana Tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 1:30 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: A good american > > hmm.
