SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

St. Paul / Senate votes to let abuse victims move
Pioneer Press
Article Last Updated: 04/24/2007 11:36:28 PM CDT
Minnesota's senators voted Tuesday to give battered women an escape clause from rental leases if they need to move quickly.
The bill, which passed on a preliminary vote, would let victims of domestic abuse cancel a lease by submitting court documents showing they are under protection orders. They also would have to inform their landlord in writing that they fear more abuse if they stay at the residence.
Landlords would be entitled to the current month's rent plus another month of rent.
Relying on the courts to verify the abuse would make it easier for landlords, said Sen. Tarryl Clark, the bill's sponsor.
"We don't want the landlord to be put in the situation of having to make a decision about whether something has happened," said Clark, DFL-St. Cloud. "This way the court already has made a determination,"
The bill awaits a formal Senate vote. A House vote on a companion bill is pending.

I do give the city some credit for the way the abuse issue has been handled in regards to rental property and leases, this was actually handled in a very professional, safe and fair manner. No one should have to be obligated to stay in a dangerous situation and yet 30 days gives a landlord sufficient time also, unless your renting under St.Pauls criteria for a new tenant.
