Thirty Five Years Before 3045
"Welcome everybody to the White House, I am so glad you could all make it." The President of the United States announced.Her name was Elizabeth Davis, she served as President for a solid four years. The crowd became quiet to let the President speak.

"I gathered you all here today for an important announcement," she started off, "as you all know, the crime in our generation is far worse than what anyone could have estimated back in the 2000's and we need a plan. If we let this crime growth go on any farther a war will start, a war against the people and us; the government. Regarding the type of technology they have, we will lose".

Suddenly, the people gave a roar, they all started shouting in disbelief. "There is no way the people could ever defeat us! We control them!" one shouted. "Sure they have technology, but we have an army!" said the other.

"Everybody listen up!" President Davis began, "I know this is very hard to believe, but take a look outside! Our world is crumbling, the streets are filled with filth, the people our sick, vandalism is ever and people are turning to their only solution; to steal, so that they can get by. And let me tell you this, they all have one thing in common, and that is that they all hate us because we are doing nothing about it".

The people got quiet once again, she was right. The world is crumbling and the people are against the government because they are the only group that could be blamed.

"Alright Miss President, what do you suggest?" A man said with a grin.

"I have a theory, people get overwhelmed when we tell them they have to be good. It means nothing to them anymore. So, what we have to do is give them only one option, only one characteristic," the President began.

The crowd was confused, one characteristic? What did she mean? But the President was ready to answer, "I say we group up the people and give them one trait of personality to exceed in. For example, we tell everybody in one group to be nothing, but peaceful and that is all they do. Another group would be trustworthy and another would be something else. This will give them something to do and they will absolutely, always behave".

The people started laughing, they knew it would not work. "But there would still have to be a government to control them and they will still hate us, it won't work,"a man replied.

"There wouldn't be a government, it won't be needed, but we could have a leader for each group." The President replied.

The crowd became silent, and for a slight second they started to think, "It might actually work". Suddenly, a man spoke up, "What about instead of putting them into groups we could make sections!"

The President paused, "I like it! How many sections were you thinking?" She replied.

"A solid eight would work," another man added. The President smiled, it was working, everybody liked the idea.

"Yes, eight will work," she began. The president pulled out a white board and began writing the numbers one through eight. "What attributes should we put?" she asked with a grin.

"Peacefulness and Trustworthiness works!" a woman hollered.

"We need Excellence!" another yelled.

"That's good, five more!" exclaimed President Davis.

"We must have Service!" recalled a man from the back.

"And Trust!" said one more.

"Modesty!" a women suggested.

"Obedience would be nice!" a man said with a laugh.

"Good," President Davis said, "only one more..."
The crowd stopped, they only had room for one more, it had to be perfect.

"Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the perfect one," the President said with a smile, "Justice".

The people started applauding, they knew this idea will work, then it stopped with a question, "Now, who will be the leaders of each section?" a women asked out of great curiosity.

"I know what we must do, we need to make a test for possible leaders to take and see if they are eligible to run for that section," the President answered.

"Yes! We can have our smartest scientist create it!" A woman agreed.

"And how long will each leader run?" One asked.

"We will change them every ten years," the President answered.

"And then the new possible leader could once again take the test," suggested one.

"Yes! That is perfect, and we could have the people take the test because they would know the best for their own section. They also have to be a young age, the people like them better, like eighteen,"the President added.

"Yes, once the ten years are over for the leaders, the people of the age of eighteen take the test and the next leaders are chosen", the man concluded. "That sounds good, but the new leaders would be inexperienced, we need to train them first", a woman exclaimed. The group started chattering, how would they train them on a completely new system?

"Listen up everyone," the President began, "Why don't we create an Academy to train the ones with the highest scores from the test, then afterwards we choose who did the best to be the leaders?" the President suggested.

"And we could have a camera crew recording the whole experience and make it a big deal," a man shouted.

"Sir, are you suggesting we make a reality TV Show out of eighteen year olds competing to become a sections new leader?" The President asked with a stern voice.

The man cleared his voice, "Um..yes?" he said.
"Wonderful! A brilliant idea," President Davis said with a laugh.

"Alright everyone, looks like we came to a conclusion! Thank you for your time, and now if you can all make yourself to the courtyard where we have our refreshments!" the President said with yet another smile.

Everyone stood up and exited the room, leaving the President behind.

President Davis then walked up to the window and looked out with a grin, "Alright Earth, prepare for your new society," she whispered with a chuckle.
