How do I report someone selling bootlegged movies at a flea market?
I know someone who unwittingly bought a bootlegged movie at a flea market. I've seen the vendor myself and thought his wares looked bootlegged. Having seen the DVD this person bought, now I know it for sure. I'm not entirely confident that local law enforcement knows what to do or cares enough to do anything. (It's a rural town.) To whom should I report this?
19 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police2 decades agoCan doctors really not assist with lethal injection?
I just read an article that said doctors cannot be asked to participate in executions of death row inmates because the Hippocratic oath states they must "first do no harm." Is this true?
If so, let me get this straight. They can perform abortions all the way up until all but the baby's head has been delivered. The baby's only crime was being unwanted.
They can pull the plug on a woman who made no clear request to be removed from life support prior to being incapacitated. The woman's only crime was becoming incapacitated.
They can destroy human lives in the form of embryos for the wing-and-a-prayer hope that it might someday cure something. The embryo's only crime was being created in a lab.
But they can't help execute convicted rapist, murderer, etc. even after he or she has exhausted 10 years worth of appeals because they must "first do no harm?" What's wrong with this picture?

Soup, instant mashed potatoes, pudding. What else?

1 AnswerBasketball2 decades agoWhen there is only one answer to a question, should that answer eventually become a best answer by default?
I've got several questions right now where my answer is the only one, but the user who asked it has obviously abandoned Yahoo Answers. Should answers in this case default to best answer after so long? Why or why not?

1 AnswerYahoo Profiles2 decades agoWhy use Microsoft Word's Reading Layout view?
I haven't done a lot of research on this new feature of Word 2003, but it seems useless at best and annoying at worst. (Word attachments opened from Outlook open in Reading Layout view by default.) I teach an Introduction to Computers class, and I feel like a bad teacher when I tell the students that I don't know what Reading Layout view is for.

I know ALT text is supposed to be a text equivalent of the image, but the text equivalent of a floorplan would make ridiculously long ALT text.
I'd appreciate references on which you base your answer.
