How good are public defenders in minimizing or dropping drug and DWI charges in New Jersey?
Q. I am being charged with DWI and posession of drugs inside of a vehicle. I am in a really tight situation and am considering just getting a public defender becuase i cannot afford a lawyer. At the preliminary they told me i prob could qualify for a public defender, but all of my friends are highly advising against it. They say that public defenders dont fight for you and that they dont care. They just work for the state and cater to the prosecuters interests more than to yours. Is this true?

A. Yes. Public defenders don't usually put very much effort into their work, and will encourage you to go along with the prosecuter in order to shift the case through as rapidly as they can. There are probably exceptions but I've only seen them on television shows.

How is the public kept at arms length by the electoral system?
Q. Here is the full quote I got it from. "The fundamental characteristic of the Constitution is distrust. The Constitution was, in fact, borne of distrust -- distrust of democracy, distrust of popularly elected legislatures, and distrust of the public. This distrust is best seen in the electoral system, which keeps the public at arm's length, and in the system of checks in which the popularly elected House of Representatives is severely constrained by the Senate as well as the other branches of government. In sum, the Constitution does not create "real" democracy but simply presents a veneer of democracy. It is a political illusion that has allowed elites of various kinds to dominate the politics and policymaking of this country."

What kind of public transportation does Seattle have?
Q. I am thinking about visiting Seattle next year. I am trying to decide whether to fly or drive, because it would probably be as cheap to fly there as it would be to drive. (I live in Oklahoma)But that means either renting a car or public transportation. So I was wondering what type of public transportation there is to visit the area and how much it costs.

A. If you are staying in a downtown hotel for only a few days, I would recommend taking public transportation. There are plenty of shuttles from the airport - Grey line shuttles run every half hour from all the major hotels downtown. Most of the tourist sights are easily reached by walking, cab or the monorail. King county Metro buses are $1.25-1.50 depending on the time of day - And free in the downtown "core" of Seattle. Now, if you are coming out here looking for a potential place to relocate to, or are staying outside of the downtown area; I would strongly recommend driving/renting a car.

What is the effect of public housing on the rest of real estate prices?
Q. I hear there is a 3 to 7 year wait for people to get into public housing. A friend of mine is in an apartment that qualifies. My question is, what would happen if public housing were to be entirely eliminated so that the government didn't have any control over that anymore? Or what would happen if there were twice the number of public housing units so that the waiting list was cut down to something like 3 to 6 months? I'm just curious as to the economic repercussions, coming from a very non-economic background. Your opinion please?

Doubling the projects (the only actual public housing) would not lower the wait period.

How good is public transportation in Chicago?
Q. I've never been there, but I was wondering how good the public transportation system in the city is? Could a person commute, say 10 miles, to work every day and rely on public transportation without encountering too many headaches?
Asked by RogerDodger - Mon May 19 17:30:51 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Depends where. If you're working and living in the city itself, particularly in and around downtown, absolutely. It'd be far more convenient than a car. But as soon as you get out to the outskirts of Chicago, it gets a bit harder. The Metra trains are good, and reliable, but they only run on the hour (if that) and they're only good if they happen to go near where you happen to go. For example, I used to work and live in the city and I took the elevated trains back and forth, and it was easy (even relaxing, because I could read on the way). But after a while I was living in the city and working in the far suburbs, and it was, unfortunately, faster to drive.

How do you feel about women breastfeeding in public places?
Q. I heard a story on the news last week about new legislation in Britain, allowing women to breastfeed in public places. I didn't think It was illegal anyway, as long as decency laws weren't broken. I would never have breastfed my babies in a public place. There are so many arguments for and against this subject. Personally I dont like to see it. I know its natural but then so is making love and you wouldnt want to do that in a public place. I think there should be more places for women to feed their babies (not in public loos though) in order to encourage them to give their baby the best start in life. Maybe clothing manufacturers should try to invent some kind of shroud to cover up while feeding. What do you think?

A. Personally I think that breastfeeding in public is acceptable, and to be encouraged (as breastfeeding should be encouraged for health reasons, and we don't want women to be chained to their home for the first year of their baby's life). I'm only uncomfortable when people do it very openly - i.e. with their boobs on display. I always tried to be discreet, and bought special breastfeeding clothes to remain covered up and not embarress small boys! Mine came from but there are lots of other places selling them now I think.

Asked by Tom Butcher - Tue May 18 15:21:33 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You're using the wrong agents. You need to try some more independent agents. There ARE places where you can buy a "one shot" production policy, that would include all sorts of different types of liability - besides public - that you might need, to distribute or air your piece. Production coverage, though, even for a "one shot" is going to run you a minimum premium of $2500. You can pack a lot of coverage into that, though, adding on for a camera/lights package if you need to rent, or trademark/infringment coverage, or editing access, etc. The truth is, it's not much more expensive for a year policy, than it is for a one shot. If there's any chance you'd do a second piece, you're better off buying it for a year.

I work at Wells Fargo, and they give me tuition reimbursements if I have a degree that would someday help me in my career with Wells Fargo. I know that public relations is good in retrospects to the communication of the company, but what other ways could it help?

A. With a PR degree, you probably want to seek positions at the corporate level. Wells Fargo must be proud of you because now they can boast that they have an educated staff member on board. But you need to take care of yourself by looking out for better opportunities that Wells Fargo provides. Check out their website for the careers section.

What year was it when public schools changed from teaching institutions to babysitters?
Q. The same year that all parents were forced into minimum wage, non-fulfilling, dead-end jobs? I still remember, back in NYC, hearing that all major businesses private schools and universities were closed (due to blizzard conditions)--but NYC Public Schools remained open. So, is the safety of those who work, go to college, and go to private schools more important than the safety of those who go to public schools? Also, when did students lose all respect for teachers--and when did teachers become such doormats?

A. When states decided that children shouldn't be punished by their parents the way they used to be punished. A good belt across the backside. I remember when teachers used to use pointers or rulers to get the message across about who was in charge. Also a lot of kids these days could care less if they get an education or not. As long as they hang out with their buds.

Q. What does it mean when it asks for a public policy and public implications of a theory? My homework asks for an example of a public policy AND policy implications for 6 different theories (rational choice and trait theories for examples). Can someone explain what they are asking me to provide?

How do you check a Public Defenders record in the courtroom?
Q. How can I check out his wins and losses and basically his job performance? I've only heard horror stories about Public Defenders, has anyone had a personal experience with one in the court system? Some people believe that there are only 2 kinds of Public defenders- Not good enough Attorney's to be hired by a law firm, or they have taken this position because they have political ambitions. Any input? Thanks for your input sensible, but you didn't really answer my question about checking his record. . .

A. There is no meaningful way to check a PD's record, because you would never have enough information to make a meaningful judgment. Suppose you found out that your PD had represented 100 defendants in jury trials and that 80 of them were convicted of the charged offense, 15 were convicted of a lesser offense, and 5 of them were acquitted. Is this a good record or a bad record? You can't tell. Maybe all of them were guilty of the charged offense, in which case the PD has a pretty good record -- he got a number of guilty people off. On the other hand, it might indicate that the PD isn't very good at all. Or it might suggest that the PD is very good (or very bad) at negotiating plea bargains (which never get to trial). No way to tell. … [cont.]
