Ok apart from obsessing about muslim identity to the point that Bin Laden calls the USA a "crusader" country, what's the motive?

does he own stock in Raytheon and Halliburton?

he got tired of travel and wanted to live as a hermit?

promoting praxis by striking capitalist towers?

he thought Bush was pushing gun control back 30 years and needed a slapdown?

and everybody from Nigerians to Brits signs onto this agenda because suicide bombing is the new X sport?

>.From a religious point of view it can not even be a victory mosque, as Islam's "competitors" would be Christian or Jewish buildings. If it would replace or be installed next to a dissapeared religious monument, it can rightly be a victory mosque. Otherwise you're confusing religion and politic acts. After all, there's next to no Islam involved in the 9/11 terrorist acts itself. The only Islam involved is in the rhetoric of Al Qaeda and, indeed, the rhetoric of religious fanatics, but those are irrelevant to the installation of a mosque itself..<

But that is the SOLE MOTIVE behind the attacks, the idea that the Muslim God wanted such violence to occur.  Further it is not a view of Islam roundly condemned by the mosque builders, who think America needs to examine itself to prevent such things.

Such views merit our national hostility, which of course we have a right to express.

I think we're ready for a flowchart timeline showing coordinated use of attorney/support staff billing hours selecting and renovating separate office space, leasing an office van, hiring a project manager, hiring contract help, creating an investment corporation, a limited liability corporation, drafting the services contracts, the memorandum of understanding, the chinese wall declaration, the environmental impact report, quarterly tax filings, and renting a ballroom and a steakhouse for a symposium on whether articles of dissolution should be filed when the project is completed or whether an IPO should be made to continue operations post-recession.

question

the Lawyer decides that since changing a light bulb is not a legal service, he will form a limited liability corporation wtih himself as president , and the LLC will perform the work on the light bulb change.

is it unethical for the Lawyers LP to be a partner in the LLC?

i think it would hinge on the lawyer's role in teh LP wouldnt it? it would be totally a nonissue, ethically, if the Lawyer were not an officer in either the Law Partnership or the LLC, but if he's an officer in either one then he has a fiduciary duty to the LP that might conflict wtih his usual duty to the LP

maybe the LP could form a cutout investment vehicle Inc.  that would invest in the LLC without being a full partner
