Motion To Impose

Question: What does it mean when there is a "Motion to Impose Sentence" in a court docket?

Answer: It simply means that one of the parties, either the prosecution or the defense, has asked the judge to hold a hearing to decide on the sentence for the defendant. It would seem it might usually be the prosecution, as the defendant would have less interest in being sentenced, but in fact the defendant has an interest in setting sentence as well--for purposes of appeal, or to start serving a sentence (if the defendant is not already incarcerated) so that it will start running, or even for strategic reasons (either another procedure is pending or another event may soon be disclosed which would have a negative effect upon sentencing) and other reasons.

Question: How do I make animated mouths on LEGO minifigures in stop-motion animation? In many "brickfilms" that I have seen, including "Unrenewable," the director uses some kind of software method to make super-imposed, animated mouths over the normal LEGO people's static smiles. What software might I use to do that? Any ideas?

Answer: Katie K is right, you can use any digital image editing program to alter your captured images before you compile them into a movie file. If you don't have Adobe Photoshop, two free alternatives are Paint.NET and GIMP. http://www.getpaint.net/ http://www.gimpshop.com/ P.S. Brickfilms are by definition stop-motion animated movies. It says "We are a community dedicated to the art of stop motion animation," right at the top of their website. http://www.brickfilms.com/

Question: what are two examples of newtons three laws of motion? newtons forst law first law of motion: a body remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force second law of motion: the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the imposed force and goes in the direction of the force third law of motion: action and reaction are equal and opposite 2 examples for each part on every law please!!

Answer: newtons first law - 1. if we were in space and throw a ball the ball would keep going until some else acted on it. - it space there is nothing no air friction nothing it's empty. 2. if we were in a vacuum mean no air friction and hit a base ball it would keep going until it hit something or something interacted with it. newtons second law - 1. like that car ex. When you try to make a turn. The car turn lets say right and you body wanted to go strait. 2. if you are standing on a flat bed truck in the bed of the truck. The truck stop very fast to not hit a child. Well you go flying right in front of the car. In other word you keep moving. newtons 3 law 1. If you lean with your arm on a wall. The wall pushes back the same amount of the weight you push on it. It does not move because it weight a lot more the you. 2. Just standing on the ground your weight is pushing on the ground your mass * g. So the earth pushes back with normal force N = mg m = your mass.

Question: What happens to the rider during a car-bicycle crash? As in, is the rider flung into the car's windsheld, or is the rider flung in the opposite direction of the car's motion? Or is it sometimes one and sometimes the other? I mean, the relative velocity of car and bicycle means that the bicycle rider will be flung into the car's windshield (of course it depends if the car suddenly decelerates). But the car will also impose some momentum onto the cyclist in the direction of the car's motion.

Answer: Speaking from experience ... it depends on the circumstances (relative velocity, angle of collision, relative size of vehicle and rider, etc.) The police make a science of reconstructing what happened in an accident based on analyzing the scene. Each case is different. If, as in my case, the rider hits the side of the vehicle (a truck cut me off and turned left in front of me, and I hit the right. rear side of the truck), the rider bounces off and hits the ground (I got a concussion and broken collarbone). On the other hand if the rider hits a door opened in front of him (or her) the rider may tumble over the door onto the ground (if it's a smaller vehicle), or onto the door (if it's a bigger vehicle). In my case I hit a small, older car door and went over the door (The only thing hurt was he car door ... I broke a hinge). If a car hits a rider, usually the rider will be thrown because the mass of the car (and usually the velocity) is much higher. But it depends where the vehicle hits as to which direction the throw takes. If a rider is hit low it's quite possible s/he will end up in the windshield, but if higher up (e.g. a Truck, van or SUV) the cyclist will probably be thrown away from the vehicle. A friend of mine was passed by an articulated bus and the bus pulled back in too soon, swatting him sideways with the rear end of the bus. he ended up in the ditch (luckily only bruised). Another friend got cut off by a car going through a red light, and he hit near the front corner, rolled over the hood and hit the ground on the other side. A friend of mine in high school was hit broadside by a car and ended up in the nearby park with a compound fracture of the tibia. The only thing you can be fairly sure of is that the rider will come out the worst in almost all cases.

Question: .Motion to Compel for not turning in Discovery Response.? My attorney and I filed a Motion to Compel for discovery to my ex because she has not turn in her responses nor has she turned it in after the deadline from the motion. The question that I ask is, what usually happen from here and what are the consequences the judge will impose to her if she is held in contempt? Does the court usually take situations like this serious?

Answer: not really - she will get told to get her information turned in - she won't get fined or anything. She will be given a new date to get it in by, and she will probably ignore that too... in about a year if it hasn't gone anywhere, then, maybe, the court will start to care.

Question: Should young people be subjected to night-time curfews as a way to reduce crime? Youth curfews are widely used in the USA to keep children off the street at night; a state of curfew makes it illegal to be out of doors between certain publicised times. In the USA over 300 individual towns have passed local curfew laws that vary in detail, but are all aimed at reducing juvenile crime and gang activity. In Britain a 1998 law allowed local councils to impose curfews for all children under ten, although none has yet chosen to do so. In defining the motion the proposition should think about the age groups at which the curfew is aimed, the hours it would operate, the penalties for offenders and any possible exceptions, for example, is it permitted to be out in the company of an adult?

Answer: Yes.. I think 6PM is a good hour to have lock down. And forget about adult companion, theses little buggers slip off quickly, wreck havoc, then go hide at home as if they had never been out. Youth is decietful, dangerous, all of them are criminals. IN fact, I think we sould just stop having them all together. That will solve the crime wave. OR, perhaps we could just let them all run loose, the adults stay at home, and let them kill each other off. That will solve it too. Hell, forget it...let's just send them all to Iraq at age 10...if they survive, they can come back when they turn 25. Sounds good to me.

Question: How can I get the court judges to make my X husband follow the court orders of our divorce decree? Child Custody--I have full custody of all 5 of our minor children. Vistation of Children--He is to visit from 12 to 4 on Saturday's or as we mutally agree! He is to pay $375.00 per week support for me and the children through the Child Support Bureau. He is behind over $61,000.00 in child support! The Child Support Attorney for my County in Ohio requested the court impose the 30 days of suppended jail sentence but on the date that the imposition was to be heard he filed a motion to request emerangecy custody of 3 of the 5 children. Even though he mutally agreed that 2 of the children could reside with him; and were; they all had been going to the same school since November of 2005. Because I was the guardian and residential parent all 5 Ohio law requires that all go to the school the custiodian and or guardian resides in. The decree has been final for over 2 years but he doesn't want to go to jail so he is filing everything. How does vitims of abuse get stability when judges do th>

Answer: I am not familiar with the Child Support Enforcement laws in Ohio, but apart from criminal solutions (which is what the prosecutor will be doing) you may look to some civil solutions. You should look to modify your divorce/custody agreement to reflect our current situation. I am not sure about your particular area, but if you dont have legal represetation at the current time you really need to get it. As a victim of abuse, depending on your income level, you may be eligible for free representation from a Legal Services facility in your area. You should be able to find their number in the yellow pages or by running an internet search for "Legal Services" in your area. As for child support, it depends on whether he is simply not paying, or whether he is not working. If he is to go to jail, this will provide the state with an opportunity to organize and hopefully enter a judgment whereby his wages can be garnished. You really need to get legal representation if you do not have it already.

Question: Republicans: Is this what you mean when you talk about following the Constitution? "After six years of protracted litigation, women in Maricopa County Jail — you know, the one run by the infamous Sherriff Joe Arpaio — have finally (hopefully) secured their constitutional right to obtain an abortion. The case began in 2004 when a woman, referred to under the pseudonym Jane Doe, was in jail and sought an abortion. Jail officials denied her request, and told her that she had to go to court and have a judge order the jail to transport her for an abortion. She tried this route, but the court denied her request. That's when the ACLU filed a legal challenge on her behalf, both to ensure that she receive a safe, timely abortion and to strike down Arpaio's unconstitutional policy. We won. Arpaio appealed. And we won again. Arpaio appealed again, to the Arizona Supreme Court, which refused to review the decision. And Arpaio appealed again, this time to the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused to hear the case. At that point, we thought the constitutional right to obtain an abortion for women in Maricopa County Jail was secure. But apparently the rule of law doesn't mean much to Arpaio, "America's Toughest Sheriff." Shortly after he exhausted all appeals, he blatantly defied the court's ruling and refused to voluntarily transport another woman in his custody, referred to as Mary Roe, for an abortion. We intervened and ensured that Ms. Roe was able to obtain her abortion; we also filed a motion to hold Arpaio in contempt of court. But Arpaio wasn't done playing games with women's constitutional rights. In the middle of negotiations on our contempt motion, he decided to impose a new obstacle on women seeking abortion care: in order to be transported, he demanded that women pay $300 a day up front in transportation and security costs. Sarah Poe, another inmate, could not afford to prepay these costs, and would have been forced to have a baby if we did not intervene. We helped secure her abortion, and we challenged the prepayment policy. In October last year, we won, again. Last week we learned that Arpaio is not going to appeal this latest ruling. We hope that this is the end to a long chapter, and we particularly hope that women in Arpaio's jail do not have to go through what Ms. Doe, Ms. Roe, and Ms. Poe went through: delay in obtaining care, which may have threatened their health, not to mention the anguish of thinking they may have been forced to remain pregnant and give birth against their will. As a result of their fight, Arpaio must now transport women in his facility who request an abortion, and he must transport them even if they can't afford to pay the transport costs upfront. We've said "hopefully" this is the end because history has shown that Arpaio doesn't seem to grasp the mandates of the constitution or abide by court orders. If Arpaio tries any new tricks, we stand ready to continue the fight." http://www.aclu.org/blog/prisoners-right…

Answer: Well according to libs murder is a right but only to the unborn and not a criminal!!

Question: Filed timely motion to vacate. Subpoened/got proof-perjury. He lied re gambling/debt $100,000. What's penalty? I'm hoping for fees/court costs, sanctions for harm imposed. Is the court obligated to recognize this level of perjury? He stated under oath that the entire $100,000+ was marital and I have proof via subpoena from the actual casinos and credit card companies. We live in Illinois, Will County, and I filed the motion to vacate within the time limits but the Judge seems reluctant to act and seems to feel that I should sue my original attorney for failure to do any real discovery. Thank you for any support or advice.

Answer: I think divorce judges assume everyone is lying. They don't want to prosecute the perjury. if you are within the letter of the law on vacating you should push it. Suing your attorney is tough although he/she might settle (after dragging it out, making all kids of threats, and hoping you will go away) --- not the kind of publicity they want in front of judges, colleagues, or other potential clients.

Question: In layman's terms please? Can someone explain: motion for new trial, defer sentencing,noticeof appeal,stay? I am going to court tomorrow for sentencing after I was convicted on 3/9. I am trying to figure this out by myself. My old attorney said he doesn't handle appeals and has done nothing since 3/9 except tell me to go to the courthouse and get the paperwork needed . I am consulting with a new one, but he will not commit to taking my case until he gets all the evidence to examine thoroughly. He is trial so I can't call him. My old attorney is withholding my file, along with the crucial interview with the one witness has been "lost" or "erased", and he no longer answers my emails. Can you tell me if I have this correct? Tomorrow is the senteencing hearing. I filed a motion for new trial within the 10 days and in that document I requested the court defer sentencing so retain new counsel and to file brief in support of the motion for new trial. This is at the Trial level. The judge can grant this request or not. If the judge does not, then sentencing will be imposed and that is when I submit a Notice of Appeal and stay of sentence. Is this right? It is still at the Trial level and follow those procedures until it goes to the Appealant level for now. I sincerely thank anyone that takes the time to explain this to me and/or where I can find the info. I've been reading everything I can re: Arizona Court procedures and it can be confusing. I understand that I can make a statement, either verbal or written. I am preparing a written statement, so that it is admitted into evidence in my case - important things that were supposed to be addressed by my attorney in trial but he didn't. I am also filling out an order for the trial records which identifies the items to be included in the record on appeal. Thanks again to anyone kind enough to help me.

Answer: First off, it sounds like you have grounds for an appeal based on incompetent counsel. You need to also find a civil attorney to file suit against the original lawyer so that that's on the record (it'll help show your grounds for the appeal to get the appelate court to hear the case.) Secondly, you need to get your new attorney to file the appeal. They ought to do this for you. A layman is not prepared to deal with such a complicated matter, since appelate courts often simply turn down cases to begin with. You won't get a new trial, you'll simply get an appeal - these are two different processes, with the former being reserved for cases such as hung juries and situations where jury tampering was proven. A new trial would be before the same court, often the same judge, while an appeal would go before an appelate court. The appeals process can continue up the chain all the way to, theoretically, the US supreme court. Obviously, the US supreme court declines to hear the vast majority of cases it is asked to review. Third of all, if you must file the paperwork yourself, make it a full-time job to learn this stuff. It's a worst-case scenario. If your attorney won't do it, find another attorney. See if you can get a good reference from the one you choose to do the civil litigation, as lawyers almost always have friends who are other lawyers.

Question: When a CA court clerk refuses to file a pro se prisoner’s mailed in VC 41500 dismissal motion, what can he do? A friend received a no seat belt ticket in CA in Feb 2005, but failed to appear, so an FTA warrant was issued in May 2005. Sometime later, a $300 civil assessment was imposed under PC section 1214.1(c), and the bench warrant recalled. On 12-11-05, he was arrested in CA on an unrelated matter, and sentenced to prison. There is now a $401 fine pending and his license has been suspended. He mailed a pro se motion to dismiss the ticket under Vehicle Code section 41500, but the Santa Cruz traffic court clerk short-stopped it, and returned it to him with a note indicating “Please be advised that the court does not handle these matters. You will need to submit your 41500 request to the Department of Motor Vehicles.” For over 30 years, 41500 motions have been submitted to various CA courts on these matters, and many CA courts still accept them and dismiss pending tickets. How can he get the SC court clerk to process his pro se motion and let the judge rule on it?

Answer: Things are very fouled up here. Relief under 41500 has nothing to do with DMV--it requires the termination of pending prosecutions, something the DMV cannot do. The imposition of a civil assessment prohibits the issuance of a warrant (or requires any outstanding warrant to be recalled), but does not otherwise result in dismissal of the underlying charge. (In fact, I do not believe that PC 1214.1 can be used prior to a conviction of the underlying charge and that the assessment in this case was unlawful.) I do not know how any fine could be outstanding other than the civil assessment (which, as noted, I think is unlawful). It appears that the court has somehow entered a judgment of conviction, but I don't see how that could have been done lawfully. Does he have any idea what the $401 fine is supposed to be for? On what basis did DMV suspend his license? Is there a warrant outstanding? When is he going to be released from the joint? He may have to get an attorney involved in this.

Question: Are political observers corrct that: Obama is channeling Jimmy Carter's failed policies? According to Canada Free Press: Obama is Channeling Jimmy Carter Friday, August 1, 2008 In 1980, President Jimmy Carter set in motion the energy crisis that America is experiencing today. He was aided by a Democrat-controlled Congress that imposed a Domestic Crude Oil Windfall Profits tax on oil companies who he blamed for the crisis that had led to long lines at gas stations. It was, however, the OPEC nations, not the oil companies, that decided to force up the price of oil. What followed was a twenty-eight year decline in the U.S. oil industry as Democrats set about doing everything they could to eliminate the exploration and extraction of oil (and natural gas) in the United States On Friday, August 1, Sen. Obama announced an “Emergency Economic Plan” that would give families a stimulus check of $1,000 each and which would be funded by the proposed “windfall profits from Big Oil.” Corporate America will always be deemed “the enemy” by a Democrat Party led by socialists and radical leftists. Repeating Jimmy Carter’s mistakes will not bring America one inch closer to energy independence or security, but that is exactly what Sen. Obama proposes http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/art…

Answer: A BIG AMEN, Reverend!

Question: Electronic Surveillance_Harassment Law Jurisdiction? Have and ex that has been using electronis surveillance to harassing and stalking me for years in an attempt to assist with court proceedings. The offending party lives out of state and the harassment laws in their state are actually more strict than in my state of residence. The offending party also lived overseas for a couple of years and "have very strong reasons to believe" the harassment continued while overseas. The harassment only persisted also through third parties in particular whenever the offending party was made to pay anything in court, on holidays and always around my birthday so its personal. Because of domestic violence on offending parties part I left the relationship years ago. It is my understanding that I can file in federal court regarding the harassment matter. Q1: How do I file in federal court for electronic harassment for AZ? (Include website links) Q2: Precisely what information is the court looking for in a harassment case like this? Q3: What proof will need to be presented to the court and how do I obtain that information? The offending party is retired military now but may be using the resources available to them or through their friends security clearance. The friends of the offending worked at NSA headquarters. Q4: What needs to be filed to get access to those records or military records in court? Q5: What needs to be filed to address the third party harassment in the local courts? Have already placed on a motion before the court stating no harassment that by thirds party or himself. Exact legal language - "Impose an order for Defendant and/or his third party conspirators to immediately “cease and desist” any further harassment, annoyance and improper contact with the Plaintiff and/or minor child." His attorney of course requested that motion be dismissed. Q6: Want to file in as many courts as possible to get it to stop because even my friends are consistently saying what is wrong with your phone also, it is simply annoying. Also wanted to mention this includes an illegal phone tap on cell phones and has extended to credit. Was recently notified BY THE credit burea I was a victim of fraud and they have the written proof. Although appreciation your answer that is why was thorough and included questions 2-5. Understand that "you probably do not have enough evidence "is a standard answer but as you can tell from my question. Looking for more than the standard answer by getting all my questions answered by someone with extensive knowledge on the subject. Thx

Answer: You can only file in one jurisdiction, and that should be in the jurisdiction where the defendant lives. I have to tell you, however, that it sounds like you don't have any proof.

Question: Do you think Internet Radio Stations should be saved? This is an email I received: Re: Call To Action for Royalty Rate Injustice A recent decision of the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) to impose significantly higher royalty rates on Internet radio threatens your survival. To elevate this threat, Monday, a motion for rehearing was denied. To fight this potentially deadly imposition of fees, a coalition has been formed that includes listeners, artists, and webcasters. We would be honored to have you join us. You understand the severity of these new royalty rates. Visit savenetradio.org. Learn more about how these rates will affect you, your listeners and artists. Join the coalition by signing our petition, it will be used to convince Congress to give this vital issue its attention. Independent webcasters cannot survive a royalty rate hike of 300%. Many webcasters won't survive paying the back-dated fees through 2006, if this CRB ruling stands. There are less than thirty days to respond, to be heard. Go to savenetradio.org. You need to take action today! And for those of you who think they make millions... I have my own internet radio station, lots of people do... WE DON'T MAKE MILLIONS!!! I don't make anything. Just do it cause I'm a dork who likes music :)

Question: Urban Legend or Ancient Prophecy There is a strong conspiracy theory gaining momentum that Barack Obama will win the Presidency via vote manipulation. Once President, he will after a short period convert to Islam and impose muslim rule on the US ( The wheels have already been set in motion with with Tyson Foods in Tennessee replacing Labor Day with Eid al-Fitr a Muslim Holy Day - check it out if you don't believe it!!) . It is said that events are being manipulated to bring about a religious war in the US, were Right Wing Extremists Militias supported by factions of the US MIlitary will seize control plunging the country into chaos. A charismatic leader will emerge proclaiming a New World Order lead by the US. Peace will reign for 2 years then get ugly again as it is understood that the "charismatic leader" will be no other than the Antichrist himself! World War will then be realised with most of the earths population wiped out. The events have been calculated to coincide with an "End of Days" scenario hearalding the Rapture prior to Christ returning with the Second Coming in 2012. All these events were documented by Nostrodamus apparently so be warned! Folks...I didn't at any time say that I believed the entry, I was using it as a vehicle for debate. The " Urban Legend or Ancient Prophecy" is currently doing the rounds....It has certainly had some impact judging by what some people have written!!

Answer: Wow! You must really believe the President has that kind of power!! The President really cant do sh*t without the ok from both the Senate and the House. So Muslim rule? Don't think so!! You need to get out of the fantasy section in you're local library. I always find it funny how Nostradamus's predictions are only proven after the fact!! Have you ever really read his predictions? In his own words? They're so cryptic and riddled that its virtually impossible to use them to predict the future. Its only after the fact that you can twist facts together to complete his work. Its like putting a puzzle together but only after looking at the picture!!!

Question: Can someone please translate this CA code from legalese to english? (specifically subsection c) Cal Code Civ Proc § 2030.290 (2009) § 2030.290. Effect of failure to serve timely response to interrogatories; Waiver; Monetary sanction If a party to whom interrogatories are directed fails to serve a timely response, the following rules apply: (a) The party to whom the interrogatories are directed waives any right to exercise the option to produce writings under Section 2030.230, as well as any objection to the interrogatories, including one based on privilege or on the protection for work product under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 2018.010). The court, on motion, may relieve that party from this waiver on its determination that both of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) The party has subsequently served a response that is in substantial compliance with Sections 2030.210, 2030.220, 2030.230, and 2030.240. (2) The party's failure to serve a timely response was the result of mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect. (b) The party propounding the interrogatories may move for an order compelling response to the interrogatories. (c) The court shall impose a monetary sanction under Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 2023.010) against any party, person, or attorney who unsuccessfully makes or opposes a motion to compel a response to interrogatories, unless it finds that the one subject to the sanction acted with substantial justification or that other circumstances make the imposition of the sanction unjust. If a party then fails to obey an order compelling answers, the court may make those orders that are just, including the imposition of an issue sanction, an evidence sanction, or a terminating sanction under Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 2023.010). In lieu of or in addition to that sanction, the court may impose a monetary sanction under Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 2023.010).

Answer: The court shall fine any party, person or attorney that acts without justification to make or oppose a motion to compel a witness to answer questions in a legal proceedings. If a party fails to obey an order compelling answers, the court may use that as evidence against the party, person or attorney to impose the fine.

Question: What do you think about my hopes for Obama's Presidency? This is a work in motion so it is subject to improvements, but I am working on this and this is what I have so far. I would like to know what everyone thinks. My hopes for Barack Obama's presidency: Before the end of Barack Obama's 2nd term the following things will happen: Gas Taxes will be $2 a litre or about $8 per gallon. This will help us to fight global warming and encourage people to take public transportation. A 20% VAT will be imposed on ALL goods, including food and clothing. There will be a 60% income tax on ALL people with a government cap on income set at $60,000. The taxes will go towards providing medical care and housing for the needy. A minimum income will be set for those on welfare at $60,000. No longer will those on welfare have to suffer while greedy rich people live happy, healthy lives. The age of the wealthy is over and the poor, meek, and those who do not work for a living will inherit the earth. Criticism of Obama and his policies will not be tolerated. Those criticising will be charged with a hate crime and thrown in jail for a minimum of 5 years. No longer will racists roam America, free to spew their hatred. The people will be required to give 10% of their incomes to humanitarian aid, both local and foreign. Retrograde taxes will be imposed on all those who previously made more then $100,000 a year. The government will sponsor and handle the upkeep of all museums, national forests, and wildlife reserves with tax payer money. Guns of ANY kind will be banned PERMANENTLY. Possession of any gun will result in a $20,000 fine and a minimum of 5 years in prison for each offence. However, the government and those who have voted democrat consistently since being able to vote will be able to own them. The government will impose a cap on how much each corporation can make in a year. There will be no more making millions or billions on ANYTHING. The government will regulate how much sodium, sugar, and fat is allowed in food in order to reduce costs to the government health care plan. All immigrationally challenged people will be given amnesty immediately and given retrograde welfare cheques for the years the racist Republicans wouldn't let them in. This is just the beginning. I have so many more hopes for Obama's presidency, but I haven't thought of them all yet. Any additions to this?

Answer: People who hope this scare the crap out of me. So I should be a slave to the government cause they know better. Seriously you should move to cuba or something. Maybe you and the commie cubans could get along.

Answer: ha, "immigrationally challenged" I haven't heard that one before! unfortunately, I think very few people on here can sense your sarcasm. In their defense, it is difficult sometimes without the cues such as a snotty smile or a chuckle. It's sad how many people voted for him without even knowing or understanding his platform. I have to say, I'm thinking that dropping out of college will be best for me, all of my classmates can get their degrees and support me. I'm expecting Barack will start cutting checks to me personally any day now, since I have no income except my student loans. Or am I going to have to start giving that money away too?

Question: Can anyone tell me why this response would have been a violation? I posted this response a few times in the Politics and Government section, and I don't know why it was a violation. Can someone help me? I think it is because I offended Obama Sheep. When I got the violation I could just see them foaming at the mouth when they read it. But seriously. Why would it be a violation? It is complete satire on the left, and they proved some of my points right by trying to stiffle dissent. "This is a work in motion so it is subject to improvements, but I am working on this and this is what I have so far. I would like to know what everyone thinks. My hopes for Barack Obama's presidency: Before the end of Barack Obama's 2nd term the following things will happen: Gas Taxes will be $2 a litre or about $8 per gallon. This will help us to fight global warming and encourage people to take public transportation. A 20% VAT will be imposed on ALL goods, including food and clothing. There will be a 60% income tax on ALL people with a government cap on income set at $60,000. The taxes will go towards providing medical care and housing for the needy. A minimum income will be set for those on welfare at $60,000. No longer will those on welfare have to suffer while greedy rich people live happy, healthy lives. The age of the wealthy is over and the poor, meek, and those who do not work for a living will inherit the earth. Any and all dissent will be silenced immediately. The dissenter's career will be destroyed, they will be labeled a "racist", and thrown in jail for a minimum of 5 years per offence. The people will be required to give 10% of their incomes to humanitarian aid, both local and foreign. Retrograde taxes will be imposed on all those who previously made more then $100,000 a year. The government will sponsor and handle the upkeep of all museums, national forests, and wildlife reserves with tax payer money. Guns of ANY kind will be banned PERMANENTLY. Possession of any gun will result in a $20,000 fine and a minimum of 5 years in prison for each offence. The government will impose a cap on how much each corporation can make in a year. There will be no more making millions or billions on ANYTHING. The government will regulate how much sodium, sugar, and fat is allowed in food in order to reduce costs to the government health care plan. This is just the beginning. I have so many more hopes for Obama's presidency, but I haven't thought of them all yet. What are your thoughts?" Many of these points are already reality in many European countries. Liberals seem to idolise everything European so I thought they might support most of these things.

Answer: I think it's your use of the metric system in reference to gas prices.
