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."

"Even if said military troops were in the middle of operations and the withdrawal would cost the American people a substantial amount of money? If there was a less costly - both monetarily and ensuring the safety of human lives - way of ensuring that your target goal was achieved, what do you think it would involve?"

"Money?" Duo looks geuinely confused, being from a far distant future and all. "Since when have Earth-based Americans ever had money troubles?" He shrugs. "As for the part about savin' people's lives, that's what peace does. And just in case you got some lingerin' problems that involve ensurin' safety of human lives, well. That's where those of us who don't mind dyin' come in. Clean-up crew, if you like." He adds with a bitter grin. "Though I guess maybe if they don't have Mobile Suits, my way is a bit riskier."
