]]> Comment on Tennessee Prosecutors fight the teen pregnancy rate. by Chris Pennington http://blog.dowlenlaw.com/2008/09/10/tennessee-prosecutors-fight-the-teen-pregnancy-rate/#comment-4900 Chris Pennington Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:00:01 +0000 http://blog.dowlenlaw.com/2008/09/10/tennessee-prosecutors-fight-the-teen-pregnancy-rate/#comment-4900 Zale, This is a great program. This is high ground. This is the fair warning before the cyclist tries to jump 50 busses. He may still try to jump, but if something goes wrong, he will have nobody to blame but himself. Each generation will have people who make mistakes. I think an honest discussion with young females and women who have undergone the procedure and who regret it would do mountains more good than simply changing the law and throwing people in jail. The message could become, "a born human will only live a certain number of years, but an abortion is forever." Women who have had the procedure often wonder what their child would have been like years after the procedure is done. If they bear the child and give it up for adoption, there is at least a chance they can find out about their child later in life. The message should quite squarely be that if one has an abortion, her conscience may make her pay for it for the rest of her life, and thereafter, her God may. Attaching the Christian or any other religios stance to the message only hinders progress. Sure, Christians will cheer, but you're preaching to the choir. Everybody isn't a Christian, much, I'm sure, to your dismay. Everybody is human, though. Once Christians start using the force of government against others, the message gets lost, liberals regain influence, and we are back to square one. People have to come by whatever realization on their own. You have stated that we can change the law, but not opinion. I disagree. Opinions can always be changed, and I think they would easily change as long as we were honest and not forceful. Chris Zale,

In particular, you don't mess up stuff around the target if you've got good gun control. This judge needs to be on the US Supreme Court! The benefits of gun control are myriad.

]]> Comment on Diminished Value claims by Jason Anderson http://blog.dowlenlaw.com/2008/09/18/diminished-value-claims/#comment-202 Jason Anderson Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:55:26 +0000 http://blog.dowlenlaw.com/2008/09/18/diminished-value-claims/#comment-202 Good point when you say: "You know, if insurance companies would simply be nice and give the consumer the benefit of the doubt, there wouldn’t be any need attorneys who handle insurance matters for the consumer. But it appears that we have plenty of work to do because of them." Well...it's just the nature of business. I've run across insurance companies that immediately dismiss the idea of an inherent diminished value claim. Some companies will tell people that they simply don't honor a claim. Crazy... Glad to see that you are helping clients as we are. I highly recommend that BEFORE anybody tries to file a diminished value claim, they talk to someone like Advocate Auto Claims or Dowlen Law Firm to help walk them through it first. Once a value is determined by the insurance company, they draw a hard line in the sand and it's hard to get them to budge. If you submit a claim based on knowledge and experience...it's likely that you will get a higher dollar amount for your claim. Good point when you say:
