Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is obvious because if I owned the show, RDA would have been tied to the set rather than allowed to leave the series.

"They want WHAT?"
"I am sorry, O'Neill, but the Goa'uld are not negotiable in this matter."
"Thor, buddy, ya don't understand. This is the cornerstone of American life."
"It is not an unreasonable request, O'Neill, particularly from the Goa'uld perspective."
SG-1 sat in their usual spaces at the briefing table, each of them dealing with the news in their own way. For his part, General George Hammond kept his face impassive. Colonel Jack O'Neill (both obviously and predictably) was more vocal.
"Come on! They're after our freedoms! Freedom of expression! That's a big, basic one, good place to start! They're Goa'ulds! Of course they want to take away that which distinguishes us."
"The Goa'uld require you to change the name, but they offer to allow the event to proceed otherwise unaltered. I would strongly recommend that you accept this. It is a far easier plan than the alternative"
Silence greeted him as each officer (or civilian or Jaffa, just for political correctness) considered the problem. Sitting across from O'Neill, Major Carter (newly promoted) wasn't quite sure whether she ought to laugh at the implausibility, or cry over the diplomatic implications. She settled for observation of the banter between her CO and the short grey alien at the end of the table.
Teal'c…was Teal'c. He did not understand the Tau'ri fixation on something which was, at least in his mind, so trivial. But perhaps, he conceded, he did not understand fully.
Daniel, on the other hand, was appalled. He couldn't understand how Jack could be passionate enough about this one small piece of Americana that he would sacrifice the safety of the entire world. Shaking his head and tapping his fingers together, Daniel addressed his teammate.
"Jack, you do realize you're suggesting jeopardizing the future of our planet rather than change the name of one beauty pageant."
"Competition. Miss Universe competition."

What did you think? As for me, I'm convinced it is crap. That may, however, be a direct result of the fact that it is now 3 A.M. and this would not permit me to sleep until it was at least somewhat decent.
Please review! I'm certainly free enough about leaving critiques, tell me what to make better!
Oh, I also have more ideas on this subject-Jack explaining to Thor, Teal'c, and Daniel what exactly Miss Universe is and defending why he loves it so, the SGC possibly choosing the other proposal the Goa'uld offered.
Should I continue on this thought?
REVIEW!
