US Government (Friday, February 24, 4th period)

"For those of you who were not in Professor Lyman's US History class, you will not know me. My name is Mr Feeny. You may call me Mr Feeny. Professor Lyman has been called away on urgent business that is none of your concern unless someone lets him near a microphone again.

It's my understanding from Professor Lyman's notes that you were learning about the President of these United States and the forces that support him to make every day decisions in the government. Today will be a discussion-based class and the proposed hypothetical question is this - if you were President for a single day and you could enact one change in the current administration's policies, what would you choose to change and why would you change it?

'Blowing something up' is not a suitable answer, Mr Elric."

Sam, possibly a little bitter on this subject after recent events, replied, "The government's current domestic policy of spying on people it suspects of being a danger to the country without approval or permission for a wire tap from any court. It's a blatant invasion of privacy and our rights as citizens."

She glared at Marty the whole time.

Marty ignored Sam. Well not really.

"I'd take a look at unnecessary government spending. Like on Deep Space Radar projects."

"Interesting choice, Ms Carter. How would you recommend that the authorities compensate for losing this privilege in order to ensure the continued safety of the nation and its citizens?"

"I think they should still do it, if a court decided there was enough reason to do so." Sam considered other options. "I also believe that a more cohesive intelligence network could solve some of those problems."
