How do I handle an alcoholic friend with a teenage daughter that she neglects and verbally abuses?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 10:37 pm

She’s not a close friend but her daughter is nearly part of our family. She’s hung out with my kids since she was about 8, and she is now 15. Her mother is drunk every day on vodka. She is a single mother and gets state aid, but uses the money for alcohol and drugs. Her daughter knows this but I try to keep things positive. I have hired her to study with my son so she has responsibilities and can earn money. This also keeps both their grades up. I also have her babysit some. This way I can tell her if she hangs out with druggies (there is a meth house 2 doors away from hers), then she can’t babysit, and she loves my kids so this works so far. Her mom ignores her, usually doesn’t care where she’s at or who she’s with. I’m always the one checking up on her, giving her money for school functions, paying for her school physical, pool pass, activity pass, and today her school pictures. Her mom has escaped the system many times from child abuse to drugs so that’s not the answer. But what is?

Access to Catastrophic Benefits under the SABS Ontario Canada

Access to Catastrophic Benefits under the SABS: ONtario Personal Injury Law

Working with several injured accident victims who suffer life-altering changes as a result of traumatic events in their lives is both daunting and rewarding.  The injured victim and their families require immediate insurance coverage for a multitude of expenses for medical costs and attendant needs that are not available through the public health care system.

In the context of motor vehicle liability insurance, the Ontario Government has recognized over the years and since 1990 the need for an expense recovery system outside of the traditional tort system so that the injured party does not have to await the outcome of litigation against an at-fault party before getting reimbursed for their expenses.  Since 1990, the Statutory Accident Benefit Schedule (“SABS”) has provided up-front medical, rehabilitation, attendant care, income benefit and other expenses to injured accident victims regardless of fault (i.e. No-Fault Benefits).  Since 1996, the SABS have provided a two-tiered delivery of medical, rehabilitation, attendant care and housekeeping coverage depending on the classification of the injury.

The term “Catastrophic” is defined in the SABS and is used as a division for the most serious and permanently injured to access increased benefits past the fixed periods assigned for the “non-Catastrophic” claimants.

This paper will examine some of the legislative changes that have emerged since the introduction of Catastrophic Impairment in the SABS and the jurisprudence that has resulted from the most contentious clauses of the definition.

1.    Legislative Framework

Sections 2(1.2)(e) through (g) of the current version  of the SABS define “Catastrophic Impairment” as follows:

(1.2)  For the purposes of this Regulation, a catastrophic impairment caused by an accident that occurs after September 30, 2003 is,
(a) paraplegia or quadriplegia;
(b) the amputation or other impairment causing the total and permanent loss of use of both arms or both legs;
(c) the amputation or other impairment causing the total and permanent loss of use of one or both arms and one or both legs;
(d) the total loss of vision in both eyes;
(e) subject to subsection (1.4), brain impairment that, in respect of an accident, results in,
(i)    a score of 9 or less on the Glasgow Coma Scale, as published in Jennett, B. and Teasdale, G., Management of Head Injuries, Contemporary Neurology Series, Volume 20, F.A. Davis Company, Philadelphia, 1981, according to a test administered within a reasonable period of time after the accident by a person trained for that purpose, or
(ii)    a score of 2 (vegetative) or 3 (severe disability) on the Glasgow Outcome Scale, as published in Jennett, B. and Bond, M., Assessment of Outcome After Severe Brain Damage, Lancet i:480, 1975, according to a test administered more than six months after the accident by a person trained for that purpose;
(f)    subject to subsections (1.4), (2.1) and (3), an impairment or combination of impairments that, in accordance with the American Medical Association’s Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 4th edition, 1993, results in 55 per cent or more impairment of the whole person; or
(g) subject to subsections (1.4), (2.1) and (3), an impairment that, in accordance with the American Medical Association’s Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 4th edition, 1993, results in a class 4 impairment (marked impairment) or class 5 impairment (extreme impairment) due to mental or behavioural disorder. O. Reg. 281/03, s. 1 (5).

If an individual meets any of the above criteria they are deemed to have sustained a catastrophic injury.

How does the determination affect the level of benefits?

Under the current version of the SABS, the following coverage is expanded if an individual is “Catastrophic”:

1.    Medical and rehabilitation limits are increased from $100,000 available for 10 years, to a lifetime maximum of $1,000,000;
2.    Attendant care coverage is increased from a maximum of $3,000 per month for two years to $6,000 per month, to a lifetime maximum of $1,000,000;
3.    Housekeeping coverage extends for life; and
4.    Case management services are covered.

Changes under Bill 198

In 2003, the Ontario Government made some changes to the definition of Catastrophic Impairment under Bill 198 that applies to accidents that occur after September 30, 2003.  One of the significant changes can be found in the re-wording of clauses (b) and (c) which included the loss of both arms and both legs, whereas the initial regulations did not include this in the definition.

Another considerable change was made to section 2(2) of the SABS (now 2(2.1) for accidents that occur after September 30, 2003), which focuses on the point in time in which an individual’s injuries can be deemed catastrophic.  The old regulation stated that the insured person’s condition had to have stabilized and was not likely to improve, but the definition is reworded to say that the “insured person’s condition is unlikely to cease to be a catastrophic impairment”.  Moreover, section 2(2) has also been amended to require only two years to have elapsed since the accident as opposed to the three years in the previous version before a catastrophic determination can be made.

2.    Jurisprudence

The severely injured and their families have extensive needs and whether one qualifies for “Catastrophic” under the SABS plays a dramatic role in one’s ability to obtain timely and necessary care.  The likelihood of a severely injured accident victim pursuing maximum recovery to independence will in part depend on the level of services one can obtain.  It is surprising that given what is at stake in obtaining higher level SABS coverage, that there has not been a litany of jurisprudence to interpret widely how the definition should be interpreted.

The definition is clear with respect to interpreting 2(1.1)(a) through (d) as these are objectively determined.  However with respect to 2(1.1)(e) through (g), the assessors must use subjective criteria to make the determination.  This is the area where litigation is most often seen.

Clause (e)(i):  Determination by Glasgow Coma Scale “GCS”

Under this clause of the definition an individual may be deemed under the SABS to have met the “Catastrophic Definition” if they have received a score of nine (9) or less on the GCS, according to a “test administered within a reasonable period of time after the accident and that the test is performed by a person trained for that purpose”.

The GCS measures brain impairment by evaluating the best response of an individual in three areas, being eye response, verbal response and motor response.  A rating is then given on a scale in each category as to whether there was no response to a full response.  This test is useful in determining the level of brain functioning that a person has at a given time.  Whether or not the individual has ultimately sustained a serious or permanent brain injury is not determined by the GCS alone and it does not play a role under subsection (e)(i).  Therefore, although the GCS score could indicate future brain impairment it may very well be that a person who has early low GCS scales will not be permanently impaired and can be perfectly independent.

This definition of Catastrophic Impairment is highly contentious as the GCS can be unreliable, particularly under the following conditions:

1.    Influence of alcohol or narcotics on the GCS score;
2.    Ability to speak English;
3.    Emergency Intubation;
4.    Pre-existing Disability (such as hearing impairment);
5.    Facial injury; and
6.    Other medical factors (such as diabetic, administration of drugs during treatment).

The timing of the reading is also important as set out in the SABS.  The SABS indicate the reading must be “administered within a reasonable period of time after the accident” to be valid.  Some injuries may result in a transient loss of consciousness for a matter of minutes after an accident followed by a full recovery.  Other injuries may provide for a high GCS reading followed by a gradual deterioration which later is determined to reflect a severe brain injury.

In a 2000 private arbitration decision, Unifund v. Fletcher , Arbitrator Robinson concluded that the claimant did not suffer a catastrophic impairment thereby overturning the decision of the assessors who previously found the claimant to be catastrophic.  In Fletcher, GCS scores of 6, 8 and 9 were taken within the first half hour of the accident.  However, the GCS score never fell below 9 after the first half hour following the accident.  The assessors relied only on the first GCS scores of 6 and 8 taken just minutes earlier than the above-9 GCS scores, and the Arbitrator concluded that this approach was incorrect.

Another decision on the issue of GCS is the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (“FSCO”) case of Young v. Liberty Mutua1 .  In this case, Arbitrator Allen was required to review an assessment by a Designated Assessment Centre which determined that the claimant was not catastrophically impaired.  The claimant’s GCS scores were below 9 in the initial 28 minutes of care post-accident before the claimant was intubated.  Arbitrator Allen held that there is no set time for what exactly constitutes a reasonable period of time but that it “must be determined in the context of the particular circumstances of each case”.

Additionally, in the Young case it was noted that the intubation did not occur until well after the initial GCS scores were taken and that the time prior to intubation was a reasonable period of time to make a determination of catastrophic impairment based on the recorded GCS scores.  The arbitrator’s decision in Young was upheld on judicial review .

In Holland v. Pilot , Keenan, J. delivered a judgment in the Superior Court on similar issues involving a 15-year-old pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle.  In this case the plaintiff had ingested both alcohol and marijuana and the main point of contention was whether or not the drugs and alcohol in the plaintiff’s system could have had an adverse affect on the GCS scores therefore rendering them invalid.

While the parties’ experts differed on the influence of drugs and alcohol on the GCS reading, Keenan, J. found in favour of the insured and in doing so he demonstrated a reluctance to deviate from the legislative intent and to rely upon the GCS scores.  He ultimately made the finding that the injured individual met the catastrophic impairment requirement.

In Tournay v. Dominion , the only issue in dispute was whether or not a GCS score recorded on an intubated patient was, in law, a “valid” GCS score.  In this case, during the four hours of her post-accident treatment where GCS scores were conducted, there were a number of GCS scores of less than 9 during both the times she was intubated and while she was not.  There was evidence presented that Ms. Tournay’s daughter recalled that she attempted to wake her mother up “by grabbing her arm and shaking her for approximately 10 minutes”.  Since she did not respond to her attempts, Ms. Tournay’s daughter feared that she had died.  

Arbitrator Kominar heard arguments from the insurer that GCS scores while intubated were valid for medical purposes; they were not valid under the SABS.  Arbitrator Kominar did not believe that the GCS scores should be interpreted differently under the SABS and noted “If the scores, as recorded, were perfectly valid for medical purposes, then they are perfectly valid for purposes of the Schedule”.  As a result, Ms. Tournay was deemed to be catastrophically impaired.

Similarly, in the case of Michalski (Litigation Guardian of) v. Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Co. , FSCO Arbitrator Alves noted that the insured person’s GCS scores as recorded by the paramedics and later by the hospital as 3 and 9 respectively.  She ruled that there is a presumption for treating the injured claimant as catastrophic unless there are arguments about whether the test was administered within a reasonable time or by qualified personnel.  A special award was also ruled as against Wawanesa for their failure to recognize the seriousness of the injuries almost two years after the accident.

The most recent Court interpretation on the GCS is the decision of Liu v. 1226071 .  In this case the plaintiff had GCS scores of less than 9 in less than 40 minutes of time, before they rose to 12 and 14 in the 40 and 42 minutes following the accident, respectively.  Wright, J. determined that less than 40 minutes was a reasonable amount of time, however, he felt that the DAC Assessment finding the plaintiff Catastrophically Impaired was in error.  Wright J. felt that since 2003 Mr. Liu (four years after his accident) was able to manage his property, care for himself in terms of nutrition, healthcare, shelter, clothing and hygiene, was capable of making complex decisions and traveled to China twice making his own arrangements, did not suggest to him that he was a Catastrophically Impaired person.  The jury award of $865,000 for future care costs.  Wright J. ordered that since the plaintiff was not “Catastrophic” the future care was not payable.  The case was decided under Bill 59 (accidents from November 1, 1996 until September 30 2003).  Under Bill 59 an individual had to be “Catastrophically Impaired” in order to be able to claim medical expenses.

Jurisprudence shows a trend that a GCS score of 9 or less will continue to favour the designation of catastrophic impairment.  With the exception of Liu and Unifund, insurers have had little success challenging the validity of GCS scores.

Clause (f):  55% or more Whole Body Impairment
Clause (g):  Class 4 or 5 Impairment due to Mental or Behavioural Disorder
Can Clauses (f) and (g) be combined?

The first case to thoroughly examine the definition of clauses (f) and (g) was Desbiens v. Mordini  in 2004.  In this case Speigal, J. was asked to interpret 2(1.1)(f) of the SABS.   Desbiens was the first trial decision in which a plaintiff was found to be Catastrophically Impaired on the basis of one of the definitions of Catastrophic Impairment outlined in the applicable statutes and regulations.  Prior to his accident, Mr. Desbiens was a paraplegic as a result of falling off a roof while in the course of his employment.  Despite his paraplegia, Mr. Desbiens claimed that he was quite independent as he still had the ability to move around in his manual wheelchair and drive his altered vehicle.  He was also able to take care of himself with little assistance.  In fact, very few accommodations were required to his home to facilitate his independence in that regard.

After the motor vehicle accident, Mr. Desbiens claimed to have lost the independence he once had as the new injuries he sustained did not permit him to perform some of the essential tasks he was once able to perform on his own.

The decision states that the AMA Guides clearly anticipate that a given physician’s judgment and discretion will play a role in the assessment of the impairment.  Spiegel J. opined that the AMA Guides should not be applied without consideration of the particular reality of the individual being assessed.

One debate in the Desbiens decision revolved around the fact that based on his physical impairments resulting from the accident, Mr. Desbiens did not meet the requirements of clause (f), 55% WPI.  However, the most contentious part of the Desbiens decision is Spiegel J.’s analysis concerning the combination of physical and psychological impairments to arrive at the 55% WPI.  Essentially, it was argued by plaintiff’s counsel that Mr. Desbiens’ physical and psychological impairments could be combined under clause (f) to determine whether he had a WPI rating that was greater than 55%.

It was Mr. Desbiens’ position that the definition of impairment in the regulations included both psychological and physical impairments and that since clause (f) referred to a combination of impairments and not a combination of just ‘physical’ impairments, both physical and psychological impairments ought to be included in evaluating WPI.

The conclusion of Spiegel J. was that clause (f) was intended to be a ‘catch-all’ provision for the benefit of those who are in the greatest need of health care.  Spiegel J. concluded there was nothing in the legislation to indicate that physical and psychological impairments could not be added.  As he saw it, clause (f) used the wording ‘any’ combination of impairments.  While the definition in clause (g) did not include classes 1-3 psychological impairments, Spiegel J. found that there was nothing to prohibit those mild to moderate classes of psychological impairments from being considered in clause (f) for the purposes of the calculation of 55% WPI rating.  Spiegel J. believed that if the drafters had intended to exclude psychological impairments from clause (f), it could have easily specified that only physical impairments be included.

Desbiens has been followed in subsequent decisions and continues to be the leading Court decision on the issue of calculating WPI.

Another case to consider this issue was McMichael and Belair Insurance .  In McMichael, Arbitrator Muir was faced with the issue of whether or not the claimant had suffered a Catastrophic Impairment pursuant to clauses (f) and (g) of section 2(1) of the SABS. Arbitrator Muir first analyzed the application of clause (g), impairment due to mental and behavioural disorders.  He considered the impact of Desbiens and noted that Desbiens had established that “class 4” impairment in any one of the four areas of functioning was sufficient to establish Catastrophic Impairment.  He concluded McMichael had sustained “class 4” impairment and was therefore Catastrophically Impaired under clause (g).

Arbitrator Muir also considered whether McMichael met the catastrophic definition in clause (f), being whether he had a WPI of 55% or more.  On the basis of his physical impairments alone, Arbitrator Muir found that the claimant did not meet the 55% WPI threshold, but he then considered the issue of combining both physical and psychological impairments to reach the 55% WPI rating as set out in Desbiens.

Belair raised the argument that in Desbiens the Court had expert opinion evidence before it to comment on the translation of qualitative psychological impairment ratings into a WPI rating which was not the case in McMichael.  Arbitrator Muir rejected Belair’s argument and found that the plaintiff did not need an expert’s evidence to determine whether or not it was appropriate to add psychological and physical impairments.  He determined that this was a question involving the interpretation of the SABS.  Arbitrator Muir agreed with the claimant that the SABS required the addition of all impairments to arrive at the appropriate WPI and adopted the Desbiens analysis.  However, he did conclude that there would be some risk of double counting if the claimant’s psychological and physical impairments were added in this case and he therefore did not continue to assign a percentage to the psychological impairments.  While the facts giving rise to the circumstances in Desbiens and McMichael are very different, Arbitrator Muir appeared to have followed the reasoning in Desbiens.

The appeal of McMichael  was heard by Director’s Delegate Makepeace on the issue of the method of assessing Catastrophic Impairment under the SABS and Arbitrator Muir’s decision was ultimately upheld on appeal.  Director’s Delegate Makepeace adopted the statements in Desbiens that the AMA Guides are to be given a “fair, large and liberal” interpretation.  Director’s Delegate noted that ‘impairment’ is defined very broadly under the SABS thereby ensuring that the most seriously impaired claimants may qualify for enhanced benefits, whatever the nature of their impairments.  According to Director’s Delegate Makepeace, the drafters of the legislation created alternative ways of satisfying the Catastrophic Impairment definition to avoid under-inclusiveness and ensure that impairments of equal seriousness are treated equally under the SABS.  The appeal, however, did not consider the issue of combining physical and psychological impairments to arrive at a WPI rating.

In G. v. Pilot Insurance Co  the issue was whether the claimant had sustained a Catastrophic Impairment as per clauses (f) and (g) of the definition in the SABS.  Arbitrator Blackman adopted and followed the reasoning in Desbiens.  The Arbitrator noted that there are arguments to be made that psychological impairments should not be included in a WPI rating but then he rejected each one, stating that clauses (f) and (g) are separated by the word “or” which means that the clauses were meant to be mutually exclusive.  However, Arbitrator Blackman found that this was not the intent of the drafters of the legislation because this would mean that clauses (a) to (g) were mutually exclusive.

The second argument he rejected was the idea that a percentage could not be assigned to psychological impairments.  According to Arbitrator Blackman, he was in agreement with the decisions in McMichael and Desbiens that despite the practical difficulties, all impairments however caused must be included in the WPI.  Arbitrator Blackman stated that an insured person should not be penalized just because medical science lacks an objective means of rating psychological impairments via percentages.

Arbitrator Blackman also noted that the Guides deliberately did not use percentages to estimate mental impairment because of their subjective nature, the dilemma being that clause (f) requires a percentage analysis.  Arbitrator Blackman stated that the SABS provide that if an impairment, or by implication an impairment rating, is not provided, one must then look to a listed impairment most analogous to the impairment sustained.

As in Desbiens, Arbitrator Blackman notes that the 4th edition of the AMA Guides refer to the 2nd edition which provides ranges of percentages that can be applied to the classes of psychological impairments.  He not only assigned percentages to the claimant’s psychological impairments and added them to his physical impairments as in Desbiens, but also added a number of physical impairment ratings that had not been included in the CAT DAC in order to find that the claimant did meet the 55% WPI threshold set out in clause (f) of the Catastrophic Impairment definition.  Director’s Delegate Makepeace on appeal  confirmed the decision.

In P. (B.) v. Primmum  the applicant was involved in a motorcycle accident.  The damage to his right leg was so severe, that his leg was not salvageable and the amputation of his right leg from the knee down was required.  At issue in this case was whether the claimant was Catastrophically Impaired under clause (f) as a result of the amputation of his right leg.  

One of the experts in this case relied on his own interpretation of Desbiens and stressed that the AMA Guides are not a complete guide and that an assessor should exercise clinical judgment to adjust a score upwards.  He found that the claimant met the 55% threshold with an upwards final adjustment.  Additionally, it was argued that discretion lies with the decision maker to make a finding of Catastrophic Impairment in cases where the cost of future treatment exceeded the non-catastrophic limits.  In this case, the cost for future prosthesis and care were well beyond the non-catastrophic limits.  In his reasons, Arbitrator Blackman rejected this approach to the determination of Catastrophic Impairment and stated that:

“I am not persuaded by the … argument that I have discretion to make a finding of catastrophic impairment where the cost of future treatment exceeds the non-catastrophic limits under the Schedule.  That in my view, simply defeats the intent of the legislation that a requisite designation of impairment, in addition to reasonable and necessary need, determines entitlement at a certain monetary level.”

Fundamentally, Arbitrator Blackman did not agree with the opinion of Dr. Ameis that a final adjustment is warranted when examining the wording of the legislation and the AMA Guides.

Ultimately, Arbitrator Blackman followed Desbiens and his own judgment in G. v. Pilot and considered the various experts reports and based on a review of them and the AMA Guides, he attributed various WPI designations to both physical and psychological impairments which exceeded the 55% WPI threshold, therefore determining that the claimant was Catastrophically Impaired.

3.    Conclusion: Will the Cat stay in the Hat?

The “Catastrophic” definition has been in use for over 10 years and has only received a few minor changes by the legislature.  It is predicted that the areas that have been litigated that were highlighted in this paper are likely to face reform in the near future.

Currently, the Ontario Government is undertaking a five-year review on Auto Insurance.  Submissions from various stakeholders can be viewed on their website address:  http://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/english/insurance/auto/5yr-review/default.asp .  

The Insurance Bureau of Canada (“IBC”) has published their submissions which indicate that they have a working group of scientists who have collaborated to review the current evidence used to classify brain injury.  It seems clear that the IBC has targeted the elimination of Clause (e) as it relates to the use of the GCS scale score of 9 for entitlement.  By excluding the GCS score from the “Catastrophic Definition” the government will need to find a substitute measure in its place.  Alternative measures that have been considered reveal evaluations of post traumatic amnesia coupled with a lower score such as 5 or less on the GCS will be required to meet the proposed new definition.  Such strict and subjective measurements are certain to increase litigation costs and raise the uncertainty for entitlement for a much needed group of accident victims.  It is likely that the number of brain-injured accident victims who qualify for Catastrophic Injury under the SABS will drop significantly if such reform is allowed.  

While legislative changes to the Catastrophic Definition are likely in the next few years, the issue of interpretation will remain clouded requiring ongoing litigation.  Jurisprudence to date has favoured a trend of fairness allowing mostly the injured accident victim to succeed.   Insurers have argued to the government that the Courts have broadened the definition which has increased costs to insurers.   These comments do not reflect the reality of the benefit approval process embedded in the SABS.  Ultimately, if an injured accident victim requires medical or attendant care services; the individual is required to submit treatment plans and requests for reimbursement that are subject to the SABS requirement of approval and medical requirement.  The insurers routinely deny various treatment and attendant care request for Catastrophic and Non-Catastrophic claimants alike and thus the designation of Catastrophic does not designate the entitlement without satisfying the needs based test.  Benefits are only paid if they are deemed to be “reasonable and necessary”.  Thus, insurers are misguided by demanding tighter legislation to allow fewer claimants to be declared Catastrophic.

Auto Insurance under the SABS continues to be the subject of reform as we enter the 5th such reform since 1990.  Despite the insurance industry and government trying to strike a balance for a profitable industry and fair reparation system, it is clear that the most seriously injured accident victims needs should be fully indemnified without compromise.

daughter was run off the road and jumped?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 10:07 pm

My daughter who just turned 18 was in her car with 4 boys and refused to take them to a club because they were calling her names – she told them to get out of her car at the next light and they would not – instead they called 3 of their Girlfriends to come and find them – the girls started yelling at my daughter that she is dead – so my daughter took them to the club but they again would not get out of the car – the other girls followed them to the club and told my daugter to leave the parking lot – my daughter pulled out (with the guys still in her car because they would not get out) and drove down a residential street towards her grandfathers house – the other girls then rammed their car into my daughter – as my daughter tried to drive away the boys in the back seat keep putting her car in park – then the 3 girls dragged my daughter out of her car and began to kick and punch her – they kicked her in her head and in her back – the police finally showed up about 15 min. after this all began (because a neighbor called them) when they arrived, everyone ran on foot – the cops caught all 3 girls and 2 of the boys (so 3 of the boys got away) anyhow – the cops told my daughter to come back the next day to give a report (because they were able to tell they were all drinking) and could not take a statement under the influence – so the next day I took her to give her statement and the police said they can not take her statement because she didnt give one the night before and that he doesnt belive her story and she now has no credibility – This is a total nightmare – and so unfare – any one with any knowledge as to the law and what we can do – please advise – also note that the officer told me that what the other girls did to my daughter was only a misdemenaor – I just can’t see how chasing her around in her car and pulling her out from her door a- straight up out of her shoes – and beating her is a misdemeanor – also note that on the scene my daugther first did tell them that they were just in a car accident (because she feared the damages to her car) but then told the officers the what really happened before I ever arrived on scene – so they were completely aware of what happened – also note that their is a neighbor witness who saw everything, but the cops told her that charges were not being filed so they didn’t need her statement – Also the owner of the other car is in jail,. but only for the hit and run (because one of the boys drove her car away from the scene)

Universe People, Second Chapter Sword in the Night

Someone place do not, there is a small planet of Ganbao near Universe Star of G.I.M.E., the planet name is Leitibu, planet cubagea is a half of living star of D.S., there have plenty wood resource. Plain and forest are main earth surface character of Leitibu. And the ruler name is Windon, he’s one of 10 grand elders of G.I.M.E.he’s senator of parliament of empire too. Today, he’s talking a shaking-world thing with thousands of nobles and officers or others in the secret fortress himself. It’s concern that how to pull down empire, then establish new Galaxy Republic.

The secret fortress has builded on the barranca of canyon. Canyon outer was made up with black stones, they’re hardness. It’s cann’t arrived but flying and climbing. There is a long long stream Under canyon, clear stream always attract many wild-animal. Top of canyon have growing flourish forest, birds and beasts everywhere, some times guards of fortress are fear of fierce wild-animals forest. This day unlikeliness before, a dense mass of armored forces strong hold to entire forest, very enclosing the place, even a fly couldn’t escaped too. Heavy space-tanks have ruler to patrol. A lot of Leitibu special-force soldiers firmly watching every important pass. Difference group of fleet assigned to Sky of forest. Gentle swind blowed the canyon, then made a little swind sound, It’s looks like pouring out a hurricane is coming.

The center of fortress is magnificence meeting hall, there could contain thousands of people in a meeting. Black and gold powerful coat, he’s good speeching on audiences applause. Fiery eyes fast see to everyone, thousands of eyes watching himself. He’s heartened, exciting face bare with thinking. Face to 20 galaxies supporters, he’s clarity know today will become first day to change empire history. Tomorrow, he will become really leader in people eyes, great hero in people mind.

Windon had pressed show-button of rostrum with hand, screens of wonderful digital simulation pictures from top of high air. The rotund loud speech continuing,“I know this day is a special day, because Onhogo was born that time in 420 years ago. Empire have making a country celebration for him. Today is another special day too, it’s first day of open new the universe, stride forward with hands to hands.” Beforetime, some people have gotten welfare living underrule of Liyidan, but is only belong to a part of people! Because still have a lot pats of people living in deep water and heat fire. According to the example, empire are building 36 gunstars, so great projects, cost great manpower, material resources, you mightn’t know, Liyidan spending entire empire 25% tax income for those projects. Many families were destoried, many becautiful stars were throat cuted.” A support asked him,“Honor Windon, I want to ask you when time 36 gunstars will be done?” Windon answered,“This is good asked, according to their plan, possiblity will done after 5 centuries. But, I think that time limit will longer than the plan. Moreover empire isn’t good sleeping every day, because still have strength opponent S.Country. Once it’s have happened outburst affairs, the projects will no end in possible.”

Another supporter asked him again,“Acctully, are we only this reason to together gainst premier Liyidan? Honor Windon, could you explained more?”

Windon said a loud,“I just want to explain the question this time, please to invite project workers from Gunstars of Double Stars, then we can see.” Several workers having groan on the sickbeds, they were set and helped by nurses and doctors near the rostrum. Windon slowly bowed, and the camera lens fllowing him move to move. Audiences would clear watch dialogue from Windon and sick workers. In the lens, Windon healthy body and weaked bodies those form to a color contrasted clearly. Kindly asked,“How are you? Are you OK?” Workers one by one answered, all lying on the mobile sickbed. One of worker pale face and feeble breathing, he said to him,“O…OK.” When words end, his body began falter and falter moving, couldn’t controlled a twitch. Doctors and nurses quickly closed to help, the hall began to tumulting. Windon slowly standed up, and spoke,“Quiet, please to quiet. I throught that worker talking something to me, but I have no idea now. I think I should show some formerly face, let’s look!” The screen expressly show those workers basic information. Simply differend before, full of energy and sonsy people have became only skin and bone. Windon talking more,“They’re a few of billion patients.”

People started discussion, a supporter asked him,“Really? Why we don’t know?”

Windon had a smile, spoke,“Good, good qusestion. I didn’t believe theses thing in the first time, when I see the information, I have to believe.” The information showed in screen as soon as possible. They’ve watched that in coincide again. One supporter couldn’t controlled himself, and said,“I know this man, he’s my civilian of star, the empire promulgated his abscondence yesterday.” Windon again,“They’re may be your countrymen on rostrum, please to carefull see!” A supporter suddenly standed up, then go straight to rostrum. He careful surveied, more saw more angry. He’s strong will to control angry fire from himself, and talked to Windon,“I’m sure his my people of planet, I have little thinking he became this face, The empire have announced dead on list, Kapaph is one of them!”

Some people started to angry beat senator desks, and aloud abused.

Windon spoke,“Thank you, please go back your seat.” Windon turned to say people,“The fact in front of eyes, our premier having lie! He’s twiddle with us!” A supporter standed up and asked,“Honor Windon, Why didn’t stop the tragedy happend before? Why?” She’s an exciting. Windon answered, “Please calm down, this question very good asked! Those cases we should stopped to, but it’s weren’t know all people, When I knew the thing its too late, my power is very limited. Because the premier keep a firm hand on parliament, How get force to resist? This is one of main reason why I secretly meeting with you.” Another supporter asked him,“I want to ask Honor Windon, What’s proof Have you? How to prove the parliament was controlled? Would you explaint?” then a supporter suddently stand up and told the supporter that, “Do you think these cases can’t proved?”

“Right!” “He’s right.” Gabble talking from people.

Windon answered again,“Calm down, please, listen to me. Now that some people don’t believe, I want to do a small test with us. Two years ago, had a discussion meeting of great project building of G.I.M.E. right? We’re a member of ten thousand senators of empire? Good, please remember voteed that day, then watch the screen.” People suddenly likes jump heart out, a man angry shout,“What’s happened? I’m sure voted the nay, but why not!” An other man shout,“Why! It’s changed!” Windon spoked,“Do you discover a question too?” People dispatience. Windon asked them,“Ladys and gentlemen, Who knows these senators?” men and women shake an one’s head, some people exclamation.

“So bad! If I didn’t see the fact, I couldn’t dare believe this true.” “Real bastard!” “Darned.” People’s angry emotion more and more evidence.

Windon looked over everbody, then continued to say,“Are they proofs? Yes, they are. Our parliament such like those. Only 3000 people Really care parliament? Where’re others?” People angry cry and loud, Windon spoke again,“Please callmness, ladys and gentlmen, callmness.”

People controlled themself in difficulty.

Windon asked,“These years, how many additional money do you earn? Only know some parts of totall in possible. Don’t worry, I have collectied incomes of all senators since 100 years ago, including other income concern. Ladys and gentlemen, scrutiny action. The names were amended by me. But, If you are one of them, you surely understood! People began to read the smiluation information on hands, used finger to press information, or looking for others.” A supporter had a sigh, then said, “Premier is a cheat, he shouldn’t cheating me!” People reading and watch each other and face to face. The result have started in hearts.

Windon had a deep breath again, eyes glitter, speech aloud,“We exactly understanding Why together here. It’s certain that every effect must have a cause.” We need a brave leader to guidance us at future. Nowaday, Liyidan’s weak mind making many suffer to everyong. Our future needn’t him in service, the empire future must not hold in his hand! Remember at former, We have tried to use all kinds of peaceable method for future, but facts in eyes, we all know. For change the flesh and blood, the sword posibblity to final means. Let’s battle for future!”

Surge feelings of the massess in the hall. Some people bravely standed up on the rostrum, said aloud,“Liyidan! Down! Liyidan! Down!” People too, at a stretch, whole hall such deafening.

Windon suddently recalled a more impressible topic haven’t publiced,“But, It’s enough!” single depend on those proofes can prove Liyidan’s crimes.

A team of military officer walked out from rostrum back. The first that is a heavyweight battlecoat officer, his Lenton, Defence commander of Leitibu. He has serviced for Windon since 150 years ago, and one of favorite generals. At the fore part, he’s commanded great army to battle S army. The rich actual combat experiences were admired reason. Lenton had a salute for Windon, then spoke,“Battle-line have readied, please order!”

Angry people forget himself, cried war again and again.

Battle fleets were moving on the sky, billions of soldiers standing by, more twenty commanders of galaxies one by one requested dircetion of Windon from theirs demesnes. Windon looked into the distance, gentle have a tidy manteau, then stepped on battle spaceship in exclaiming, fly to sky. Followers stepped on other spaceship too as impatient to wait. Whole Leitibu were boiling, paraders hight cried, people were prayed, people were blessing, because they have families and friends joined the insurgence army. The main force had making up by 20 galaxies from original empire armies. They’re totalled to 3.1 billion soldiers and officer. Other armies were form by engage soldiers and voluntary army of empire, totalled to 4 billion or so. Military strength sum to 7.1 billion.

A sliver of meteor nicked Blueness night, with the romance colour in their light and warm.

Liyidan were enjoying to wonderful flame flower near the Sunshine fire stone in spirits. Moment forget worries of works and

put down busy, then to do some interested thing, that will help to relax stress from works. Liyidan has middle stature, like to dress civies. Aged face and silvery voice, heart with the best discernment. He’s fiddle with careful, but flame suddently changed colours, more and more weak, he’s woke up bad sign. It’s never thing such like that before, since the empire constituted. Strange, once G.I.M.E. had a great advancement, the Sunshine fire sure stronger flame, exactly direct proportion on empire rise and fall. Therefore when the Sunshine fire hight rising, liyidan will become very gladness. Because know every thing were controlled by himself. But he did make a serious mistake that result of happen crisis in the empire. He didn’t know the insurgence from the Windon’s Leitibu, who union 20 galaxies, above 7 billion soldiers against his empire still to after-uprising, public the speech, see the information. An information officer fluster submited a report,“Honor premier, Mr.Windon have mutinied 5 hours ago in the Leitibu, and company with 20 galaxies,7 billion soldiers!” Liyidan didn’t dare believe self-ears this time. Subconscious asked,“Why this time told me! 5 hours passed.” The officer reported,“I’m so sorry, because the rebellion force malice hide facts. Bring on right rate of information down, therefore…” Liyidan angry shouted,“Out! Get out here! I need calmness!” He’s sat down on the chair, put the unusual voice under chair in second, then thought about,“I didn’t know my old friend such treat to me. Windon, I misread you.”

A past event fast thought. When Liyidan was young and a colonel of empire, he’s knew Colonel.Windon, both same colonel. They’re graduated in Strategics Institution of Higher Learning of Empire (G.I.M.E.War College). They’re sent to survey of weapon pollution of Earth Start as soon as possible nominate.

Liyidan and Windon get off the spaceship, immediately went to the plloution area. Because the empire is battling years and years, months and months. Result to a series of weapon pollution day by day increasing. Human difficult living in the pollution area. But vicious circles again and again, many animals living in these places, bodies were unusual changed, also gave more and more black shadows to empire. Windon looked at the pollution hurst, stranger colors full dye a lot of piece jungle. Unknow animalcule overgrow on the useless well. Over ash forg and died trees on the hillside, big choked smell smoking over there, it’s couldn’t suffering. People appeared unlucky foreboding.

Liyidan busy worked to investigation with other staffs. A staff spoke,“Colonel Liyidan, Windon. I found many bad animal bodies in front of the swamp area. Evidence to show those animals were bitten by huge creature, there’s B.creatures territory places in sure.”

Windon gazed the huge feetprint, then feeling bad. He asked,“Conlonel Liyidan.What time will we finish the survey?”

Liyidan answered,“Conlonel Liyidan, don’t worry about that. We will finish sooner, please waiting for me.”

Windon going on,“You and me, add others, only 100 people, It’s not a good idear in this way,”

Suddently, terrible cry from the hursts, the voice resound hollow a long time. Windom firmly hold the laser pistol, said aloud,“Brave men, strengthen defensive! Pick up the plan!” Leaves of branch began to discomposure tingle, heavy stepps with the smash leaves sound far to near. It’s alike a huge form moving to outside from inside. Soldiers arranged groups per 5 or 7 people, round and round their conlonels.

Bit by bit clear, a monster. Liyidan had a surprise,“Wo, such huge B.creatures!”

The B.creatures are poison-wildlife, because of growing in weapon pollution area long time, then Multiply to unusual change creatures, extremity danger. Windon stared to the 6 meter high B.creature, crimson body growing colors of rainbow poison horn. Often blast stench throw off, Grotty long bola-tail draging behind back, leave over some long and twisted way of marks. Strong and vigorous claws stepping, deep footprint leaved behind. The B.creatures tingle standing tine-ear, purple light from covetous eyes, Saliva or liquid running from the mouth and sharp teeth. That time, its mouth spurt out the deep call,“Ao! Ao~!”

Liyidan said aloud,“The B.creature is calling companies, We must back here! Speed to ready!” The B.creature began fast running to groups. Empire soldiers had bend over backward to shoot. Numbers of flames foercely shoot to its body, but never delay B.creature speed. 100 meter, 90 meter, 80 meter, the distance was closing. Men’s will would be wobbling. Windon quickly take out the laser sword, and operated bomb-type, fierce threw to B.creature. It’s ate off the sword, everyone had a great surprise. This sword system very currently, abroad using. Becuae of high class security and strong function. Can closing combat and some distance shooting. Also can set up a part of repair. Also the especiall point is with safe password or other special code that start up explode system.

Windon was calmly standing, absolutely standing, and shouted,“Hold up! Listening to me, opening fire!”

Soldiers had all strength to trigger. The B.creature still rush running to them under big fire. heavy stepps were more and more coming, everybody’s heart speed up, but continued to shoot, shoot. 30 meter, 20 meter, 10 meter, Liyidan sweat was running on forehead. Sudden, B.creature had a cruel shouted, then weak down to groud,“BOMB!” from Its stomach, green blood was emiting from wound hole. Although B.creatures couldn’t move, but soldiers’s eyes still fling places, for fear second expressed.

Liyidan undestood the danger was coming, spoke, “Fall back to the base, get out here! Hurry up!”

They’re fast running out the bad places. The B.creatures called beyond…

In the battle tank, Windon slowly spoke to him,“Colonel Liyidan, if the thing in two minds, you and me will died here.”

Liyidan still had a little fear, but secretly felicitate the disaster.

Happy said in no time,“This B.creature have good nose, Where’s weapon pollution, they’re will be there!”

Windon “ah ah” smiled and talked,“Needn’t mind, I can master everything, no one closed us. I have a good idea, we’re going to the small bar tonight. Ah! Aha~ha~!”

They’re became good friends and companies since the case happened. Till to now, they’re depend unremitting will on works, overcome layer upon layer difficulties, finally climbed up the highest leader positions. He’s really unknew, Why the accompanier with him at the former blood fight, now instant changed, became a stumbling block of empire. Windon althought couldn’t cilmbed up his position, but great honour at same, It’s only under one man. The rather that go through fire and water many years, he’s actuality don’t believe why happened.

“Honour premier, honour premier.” An information officer broke his thinking, the officer continued to report,

“Emergencies meeting, senators waiting for you.” Liyidan slow standing, then went to Empire premier Meeting Hall.

In the palace of D.S. great birthday party still holding. People smile, both degustation, enjoy wonderful birthday programes. A young perrty lady gentle and cultivated walking on the bandstand, applause rose up. She’s glad speak,“Thank you, thanks for your support. I’ll offer a classical song for you.《Dream Land Story》” Sweetness and fair music along with her dancing, The story is… It’s said that long long ago, there’s ayoung preety songer feet on the Dream Land, She’s surprise discovered many fly creatures able to song. It’s very blessedness, very exciting to song, the voice so great. Suddently, a difference ray winged to her from sky. It’s a view as a distorted, indistinct shadow appearance of something, It’s a light door. A wing girl smile closing her, and kind talking. Then leaded her to the light door, the light as smaller to smaller, door closed finally. Two years ago, the songer go back to home, her song pleasanter to listen, inebriation. She became famer songer of G.I.M.E. 3 years late… The singing voice is so great, as the heroine of story.

Onhogo power said,“Good, very good!” Applause from audiences again, seens satisfaction full stop.

An officer stealth near Onhogo, low talked,“Honour Onhogo, generals waiting for you in the Universe-eye Info-center.”

He did a wrinkling brow, turn to speak sideward,“Beautiful Ms GianJing, I need a little time to meeting, would you help me to take a charge in my birthday celebration some?”

GianJing felt a surprise,“Honest Onhogo, It’s my pleasure, thanks for your regards. Please to reassurance.”

He’s departed from guesters, palace, to step on spaceship on the Universe-eye Infocenter way. A group of deffense fleet landing on, then tag along his ship flying.

Onhogo sat down the chair of Command module, tasteless asked aside,“Captain Sidink, take the meeting info to me.” Sidink strict answered that,“No problem, honour Onhogo.”

He’s careful reading the info, he’s more read most unclear, to look outer the fash fleet, silently thinking about. At this moment, outerlook weren’t important in his mind, he needs a result, the empire ending of future. He’s phoned to the premier,

Onhogo said,“Honour premier, I’m Onhogo, I understood in substance.”

Liyidan said,“I wouldn’t believe Honour Windom did this case, What’s good suggestion?”

Onhogo talked,“The cases is up to this condition, I thinking that if negotiation was broked, It’s doubt to arms.”

Liyidan said,“I absloute know this point, It’s useless, even we cut territory of country for peace. I very know Windon, such he’ll till to end!”

Onhogo lower voice,“We can continue to use old idea deal with this man, do you think so? Honour premier?”

Liyidan as same of him,“I allow you execute the T.S.M. plan in the occasion requires. But don’t forget,

We’re face to former-companies as Windon, I afraid the plan won’t done!”

Onhogo smile said,“Honour premier, many ways to done, But I thinking that is the suitable way.”

Liyidan thought in two minds. After a little, he again replied,“Nice! I’m allow to you use the plan again if Universe Star plunged in crisis! ”

Onhogo said,“Thanks my lord!”

Onhogo’s face showed a ghost of snaky. He’s recalling conquer former enemies one by one in the scenes, brought mind in the War-Competion, and how to defeat opponents one by one. Aslo looked back on the widely sky, amazingly speed destroy to tough enemies of recalcitrance. He still believe the war will be win without T.S.M. plan, it’s kill a chicken needn’t on an ox.

Sidink broke his mind, reported,“Honour Onhogo, its according to the new info, Windon have renunciated

to G.I.M.E. on the blazeing in the whole, also allianced with 20 galaxies, 7 billion soldiers, hundreds of billion battle

group of fleets dig up the hatchet to G.I.M.E., and the reason is, the reason…”

Onhogo asked him,“What’s the reason? Please talk.” Sidink replied,“Yes, my lord. The reason that is premier Liyidan has controlled parliament of empire such several hundred years ago, also listed to tens of serious accusals.”

Onhogo Knowing said,“I know, prepare to fleets at once. We must arrived to Mubu star, Flamemend star convoked units, then prepare to out for a battle!”

Sidink said aloud,“Yes, sir!” Spaceship dashed out the aerosphere of star. Exhibiting the ocean of universe on face. The Universeeye Information Center piece by piece to became big, became huge. There’s supper space info-port, 3 million square kilometer expanse. The importantest military base in D.S, Number of solar systems are involved in forces. Onhogo ran to the Second Battle Headquarter of D.S. when get off. Tens of empire higer generals were waiting for him in the Meeting Center. They’re standing up at once while he’s arriverd. Onhogo sited down as a draught, then had a wave to everyone, spoke,“Please sit down, don’t standing.”

A gerneal too impatient to wait,“Honour Onhogo, Windon has leaded the rebel army to break through first line of defence of Universe Empire Star. And general Gui Wu Guo is battling to S. invasion armies under fury. The Empire Star is attacked between S.Invasion and rebellion, They’re hold us under war predicament, it’s stared in face. In addition, General Mateph fleets are returning to the Empire Star on way.”

Onhogo had a pat with hand on council board. Then slow said,“Thanks for general Bianja, Who’s want to say more something? please.”

Gneral Peterhanla is near Bianja, he’s first talked,“Honour Onhogo, Because our armies are under bad war predicament, please listen to me.”

Onhogo wasn’t at all attented to their saying, and ferocious face became terror much more.

After moment, he’s asked,“When will Unbeatable GunStar done? Who can tell me that!?” They’re still just standing, no one replied. He’s crinkled, and talked,“I saw the information. It’s press hard on, Who dare to act wild in G.I.M.E., sure be can’t passed in any event! Take my order, the main armies going to the Empire Star in second, then battle to Windon egg! We will going meeting on way! ”

On the way, the meeting is continuing. General Peterhanla said,“According to the information form rebelon on screen, the emenies will use preponderance of soldiers power to pounce us in possibility without fail, It’s overpowering and total battle scheme. Undifficulty to look the attacking way of rebelon from the Empire Starschart, please pay attention to these places.”

Imitate screen showed some solid constellation. He’s talked more,“The rebelon have speed to attacking at present. It’s estimated to arrive there 24 hours later, and will make effective attack.”

Bianja asked,“Our starsfield armies would strengthen power to delay enemy attacking speed in ability or not?” Peterhanla replied that,“If have enough backup power, but our armies will be disastrous.”

Onhogo talked,“We need time. If only that have enough time, stick to victimization more in war.”

Peterhanla replied,“Yes, honour. I’ll execute in a minute.”

That time, other general Jamno asked him,“Excuse me, I want to ask another question.”

Onhogo answered,“Sure, talk please.”

Jamno spoke,“Enemy armies tend to mucilage-glue in battle, military strength whether withdraw to the universe Empire star about, and make time to fight of guard?”

Bianja replied,“This is a good idea. but total withdrawed, will enormously strike Dragons Battlestar armies’s morale, and there’re besieged now, I afraid the result very serious.”

Onhogo laugh,then talked “General Bianja is right with reason, once Twin Dragon Battlestars fell, It must be help to rebelon armies attacking force. And thereby work disbennifit to us. It’s make very disbennifit influence to other star places. G.I.M.E. can’t fell back, even one man with battle last time!”

General Dara was near Jamno, his asked,“Honour Onhogo, for armies can faster speed in battle, I hope we can transport troops and material of star to replace other that one by one circle in succession action. Is it right?”

Onhogo had a look to Dara, then replied,“Right, this’s way if suitable condition. Arrange now.”

Dara answer,“thank you, I’m execute it.”

Onhogo asked,“What about unite-armies everyplaces? General Bianja.”

He’s replied,“Honour Onhogo, they’re on the way. It’s estimate landing-time 10 hours late will be arrived. And our armies will be arrived at 7 hours late in succession.”

Onhogo talked,“Not bad! We must lead up speed than Mr. Windon step, otherwise dally over opportunity combat, unmanageable on blast.”

Peterhanla spoke again,“General GuiWuGuo has again suggested to add reinforcements at one minute ago. And prermier Liyidan wish to send parts of fleets for rescue action.”

He’s replied,“I know, I order General Dara lead 5 million soldiers, 50 million units of fleets to rescue in the twin Dragon Battlestars, assistance General GuiWuGuo clear up on precipice!”

“Yes, sir. I’ll go.” Dara replied.

Onhogo continued to talking prewar prepared with generals. Numberless of battle fleets hight speed to U.Empire Star in the widest space. They’re possibility saluted to glory of Empire, or humiliation.

The birthday celebration continued to open like a full swing. and that time, Sunshine continent has greeted

early morning. People couldn’t tire because of jubilation one night till a succession of fleet gunshots had

savage broken sweetdream at immersion.

There’re sent out message those millions of rebelon were leaded to casus belli by Windon in the info-Centers, station of Alleywayes and avenues. People started to alarm, and vied go home with each other. street people as broke moving hubs and pieces, complete quiet. A little mouse put out small head itself from hole, as a wonder sneak looking at running away people. An no body claim of chair was tumbled and ramed by a fit of strong wind. Immediately sweeping confused dust with great intensity. A lot of rubbish were presents of environmental after festival, as headless fly wallopped by wind action.

Some people watched news and hid in home;

some people prepared to go to constry side with family;

some people brave tried to communication far friends, pursue facts of war;

some people worried about families of military service.

Dead-drunk officers or soldiers as heard a bawl on head, tumbled and ramed went to battalion, some arranges of trains carried groups of soldiery, then return to the centralize of military affairs base.

All cities hang over uncomfortable emotions, likes a disorderly commotion or disturbance in whole land. People didn’t cry for Onhogo birthday who begin pray for friends or families. Miss.GianJing or wisdomer busy dealed with confusion happenings. Royalty-guarderTightly keep watch every corner of palace outside, fear sneak attacking of enemy.

Deco came to front door of palace with soldiers protection, then announced to everyone,“Ladys and gentlemen, I’m regularity E.soldier Captain of V.Family, my name’s Deco. Deep honour to meet you. Because of empire locating a civil war edge, Onhogo ordered me to defence palace. Please don’t frighten, and don’t worry about these. In aside, Charle.Guan Ⅳ couple or others should fast go back to the bedroom of palace. To ensure security, I’ll send 2 Royalty-armed escorts for His Royal Highness.”

It’s uncomplete saying, a sticked to crutch midlife-man walk out from guests, and asked,“Honour Deco, 2 Royalty-armed escorts may be too smaller, allow my family armed-escorts to join defend job. One of that I can try one’s best faith for master, two of that I can abate Honour Deco’s burden, Do you think so?” A young officer leaded a team of soldiers to here at front door of palace, he’s saluted,“Report to Grigadier Qu Qing, V.Family Universe Fleet Colonel JiaJianChun and units waiting for your orders in 20 kilometre distance of palace.”

Qu Qing was born in D.S. generations service for V.Family, he’s D.S. Universe Fleet Level 1 Grigadier.

Deco had a saw JiaJianChun, then smile spoke,“We’re same, It’s never mind, OK, OK.” People got a load of him at coincide. He’s young and handsome, remarkable, with Royal-warrior honor, show heroic bearing hair.

Qu Qing smile replied,“Hum, good, take order yourself! Never slow Protection responsibility.”

JiaJianChun replied,“Yes, Grigadier.”

Charle.Guan Ⅳ cuted argumentum, talked,“Thanks for your regard V.Family. In this condition, everyone should go back, and units allowed stay. Another, Grigadier Qu Qing go with me, I have important thing talk to you.” Deco knew somewhat, he’s thought,“That old fox crab my great, How should I report to my lord?”

Qu Qing understood, and talked,“It’s my pleasure.”

Then GianJing said,“Since the party have finished, I should go back headquarter too. I’m very glad and extrermely honoured meet everybody today. at the same time, I grateful to your fervor entertaining, and wish meet you next time.”

Guests said goodbye to Charle. Guan Ⅳ too, then one by one leaved for home.

Qu Qing followed after Charle. Guan Ⅳ came to King meetingroom. When sat down, he kneel down with a “Bu Ton”, then cried to apologize.

Charle. Guan Ⅳ promptly supported his up, and surprise asked,“Uncle Qu Qing, something slow talked. I wouldn’t receive this manner. standing up then say, please.”

Qu Qing excited to cry his tear out, and talked,“My force weake, many years couldn’t service for responsibility, have not good portection for V.Family.”

Charle. Guan Ⅳ slow talked,“Alas, V.Family under these conditions because that be forced.Onhogo having great power, influenc. We weren’t his opponent. It’s not blame and because of you. I only complain haven’t got enough experience and skills myself.”

He’s supported Qu Qing with hands, then sad down on chair, Qu Qing slow talked,“G.I.M.E. on the life and death line,V.Family should reflect on this time.”

Charle replied,“That’s right, Uncle. His anabasis action is bode ill rather than well, difficult divination. V.Family may be able to brace up royal hero way again, correctitude faith and statute. Thought… thought I still worry about the Gunstars power are mightiness in our mind, we’re whether…?”

Qu Qing letter smile, answered,“Don’t fear that Unbeatable Gunstars, one of them is only building near life star of D.S. It’s wasted of long time 200 years at least, then may be finished. The rather that the empire is diffence to former today. The complete day is no end time. And the furthest regret, Onhogo brought the great mass of armies elite of V.Family, but his some of all contract armies elite still defend in D.S. Even we can all right to thing, national power will tend to vacuum estate.”

Charle. Guan Ⅳ answerd,“Words with truth, He’s took the main armies elite, We also watch out for other against-force’s intrigues.” Onhogo had staied 3 contract armies, they’re very experiences in battle. Deco, ZuoGe, Pinorbarwi control them. Wisdomer Deco is noble of D.S. he’s called “Heaven-Wisdomer”. His unit called “Sky-dragon Warrior”, they’re good at sky battle. Wisdomer Zuo has called“Supernatural Speed Counsellor”, He’s controling the Different-armour Warriors, they’re difference nation hero engage-warriors, great ability to land battle. And Pinorbarwi has named “Steel General”, control aeroamphibious engage-armry “S.Army”. This is second to none elite unit in V.Family. We have to alert. I think in this conditions, We must unite friendship power to chart great plan.”

Charle.Guan Ⅳ supplemented,“I remember Minkim.Guan of V.Family this time again.”

Qu Qing asked,“Is he Sea nation Minkim?”

Charle answered,“Yes, he’s. Sea nation have source with V.Family 1000 years ago. For overlord position, not spare to down status. And marry sea nation. Nowaday, great elder Minkim.Guan has V.Family blood. Although power on hands, but has low-style, dislike to society study. So called the Silence Elder in his presidial.”

Qu Qing had a quiet considering, a few minutes late said,“Honour Charle. Guan Ⅳ, you’re right. Sea nation although had married with V.Family. But It’s not behave of real help us. We must call upon heroes everywhere for V.Family. I have a plan. Could I…? ”

He’s replied,“Please free talk, if this can help V.Family.” Qu Qing talked,“Three days late, V.Family will have an emergency meeting concerning civil war of empire, I will invite V.Family else heroes or famerperson at attendance. That day our can find faithful talent helpers. Add power of family. The first can fill up the vacuum of family power. The second can keep away Onhogo’s expansion power in effect.”

“That’s a good idea. I hope my family is real V.Family of D.S. this isn’t fiddle puppet!”

Charle continued to ask him,“What are they characters will attendance at time?”

Qu Qing thought a few minute, replied,“The meeting on the way, hundreds of person contacted, they’re occultfa of king warrior of Die-hard nation, Noble warrior Terrading of Apparition nation, General Bianja’s daughter Bianna, Emotion-master Farllow, Long nose Grandma of witch leader of Witch Organization, Adventurer Martin. Charle, famous speecher Zhuangpindin, come from the hale planet normal bussinesman Haletiti, juvenile detective Keone of D.S., Free businessman Quanding, land forces anomaly warrior captain PanZiNeng etc, superadd important member of V.Family 150 etc, they’re total 360…”

i have literally tried everything. I need something new to get my 3 1/2 years old daughter to wake up dry. I don’t let her drink after 730, she goes to bed around 9 she goes to the bathroom a hour b4 bedtime and again right b4 she gets into bed. i wake her up at 12 to go pee, but if i dont wake her up she doesn’t wake on her own. she does wake up around 3-4 to pee again. they we get up at 7 30. she makes it some night to the bathroom all night, and sometimes she is wet after nap time. she naps for about a hour and 1/2. I don’t know what else to do. i don’t know how to make it click with her. I reward her every time she wakes up dry, she has a goody bag that she picks out of. She wants to be dry, just can’t seem to do it. Please HELP!!

Thanks

DUI and Constitutional Rights

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 10:07 pm

“We are a nation of laws, more specifically, the common law inherited from the British legal system.  Unlike most nations, which use some version of the French civil law where laws are found in codes, we look to the precedent of judicial decisions interpreting statutory law.”  The importance of precedent in our legal system cannot be overstated.  Constitutional rights are being lost, not through the quick actions of political or military decisions, but through the slow erosion of precedent in our court systems.  Drivers who are charged with “driving under the influence” or DUIs are most susceptible to this loss of rights.  Add to this picture politically charged groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) which began as a mother grief stricken over the loss of her thirteen year old daughter and today is a major political voice with revenues of over 47 million annually.

Drunk driving is a politically incorrect topic.  People are unanimously opposed to it both morally and socially.  Nearly every religion in the world has ordinances and warning against intoxication and drunkenness.  The fact remains, drunk drivers are a danger to themselves and others, causing a huge number of fatal accidents.  However, the inherent wrongness of drunk driving does not mean we should allow the erosion of constitutional rights.  On the contrary it is even more important for justice’s sake that a guilty citizen has the rights outlined in our Constitution.

The deterioration of rights began in 1990 when the Supreme Court found in Michigan v. Sitz. that sobriety checkpoints, although clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment, were permissible because, as Judge Rehnquist stated, “No one can seriously dispute the magnitude of the drunken driving problem or the States’ interest in eradicating it.”  Dissenting Justice Clarence Thomas countered, “I rather doubt that the Framers of the Fourth Amendment would have considered “reasonable” a program of indiscriminate stops of individuals not suspected of wrongdoing.”

Further infringing on citizen’s rights, South Dakota v. Neville. found that refusing to submit to a breathalyzer was illegal, although the Fifth Amendment gives citizens the right against self-incrimination.  Finally the Sixth Amendment’s right to a jury trial was lost next in Blanton v. North Las Vegas.  As attorney Lawrence Taylor paraphrased on his blog, “First they came for the drunks, but I was not a drunk so I did not speak up…..”
