Hi John,

I am attempting to get off my AT&T and Verizon e-mail accounts; don’t know which From address sent me to the spam folder. I own the {Privacy Shield Invoked}  domain name, and will attempt to send all future e-mail through one of the {Privacy Shield Invoked} e-mail accounts. I am keeping my {Privacy Shield Invoked}  alias for incoming e-mail, so my JJ subscription can remain as {Privacy Shield Invoked}.

Regards,
Rich

[JR: Both messages came from AT&T. Email is PIA. The ISPs want to control it. But, can't! :-) I'm moving everything to "reinke dot cc" in self-defense. Argh! Ideally, one should have their own domain and use gmail as either a screen box and / or a trailing box. That gives some redundancy if and when the site goes down. But, then you worry what happens when gmail goes own. No easy answer.]

Dear John,

Calif. Court: Would-be Good Samaritan can be sued
By PAUL ELIAS Associated Press Writer
Published: Thursday, Dec. 18, 2008

*** begin quote ***

LOS ANGELES — Proving that no good deed goes unpunished, the state’s high court on Thursday said a would-be Good Samaritan accused of rendering her friend paraplegic by pulling her from a wrecked car “like a rag doll” can be sued.

California’s Supreme Court ruled that the state’s Good Samaritan law only protects people from liability if the are administering emergency medical care, and that Lisa Torti’s attempted rescue of her friend didn’t qualify.

Justice Carlos Moreno wrote for a unanimous court that a person is not obligated to come to someone’s aid.

“If, however, a person elects to come to someone’s aid, he or she has a duty to exercise due care,” he wrote.

*** and ***

Beverly Hills lawyer Robert Hutchinson, who represented Van Horn, said he’s pleased with the ruling.

*** end quote ***

# – # – #

[JR: Only from the land of "fruits and nuts"! AND, of course the lawyer is pleased, visions of 33% floating in his head. Wonder how he feel if his family was in that "washed away" car and the fellow who saved them wondered about his legal liabilities. This, on its face, is a bad decision. Unless there was diminished capacity due to drinking at the office party OR risk of explosion was nil, I can't see much moral culpability. Argh! Just when you think it can't get worse. So, when you get he chance to save a life, you have to start balancing the civil court versus the eternal one. I think I'll chance it. But who knows what you'll do in the heat of the moment. Or, what the consequences are. Argh!]

[JR: I guess we can ASK for the special "Jasper" discount. Seriously, always good to buy from someone you have some connection, no matter how loose, with? Disclaimer: Matt "revealed" himself by follow "jasperjottings" on Twitter. He was the first one. So now he's snagged. LOL. Stickier than Charlotte's Web. But he has no idea I'm pimping for him. Guess he'll now be the first "unfollower"! ROFL. The dangers of social networking. A practical example.]
