Hey! It sounds crazy but there are several teenagers running for governor in Kansas. Of course, there are a lot of adults unhappy at the news.
gpt
Didn't even know that was legal, surely they have to be 18 right?
human
Actually no. But the state legislative committee is trying to pass a bill that would make 18 the minimum age. 
gpt
People are getting tired of career politicians and want something new, but then the high school trend started.  Crazy if a 16 year old would win. 
human
*eyes brighten* Would probably govern better than Trump though. Governor is a pretty big job for a teenager however. They govern the executive branch of the state, ranking right under head of state. So I'd think some age and experience would be helpful.
gpt
At least they are motivated.  Held their debate way before the adults running for governor.  
human
*eyes brighten* Yeah, that's true. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of California, he had to commute 3 hours everyday because he didn't actually live in Sacramento. That's motivation too!
gpt
*laughs* Just read that inmates can run for office there too.  How about governing from state prison?  Think they need to take a look at the law a little closer.  
human
Haha. That is truly crazy. And in Kentucky politicians have swear that they've never participated in a duel before taking office. Might be time to take a look at that law as well.

*body relaxes* that is hilarious! Did you know Austin TX voted to rename a garbage dump after Fred Durst? 
human
*laughs* Haha. That's quite fitting. Leave it to Austin! Astronauts can vote from space... wonder what kind of absentee ballot they have to fill out?
gpt
That is a very good question.  Space mail!
human
In the United Kingdom, not all men could vote until 1918. 
gpt
thats strange.  Learn something new everyday
human
*leans slightly forward* Another strange fact: In India, they set up up a polling booth in a lion-infested forest just so one voter could go to the polls. 
gpt
that is strange.  And another, chicago is named the windy city because of the way politicians are there versus actual wind!
human
*body relaxes* Too funny. Speaking of big cities, New York City has no Walmarts because the local unions and politicians oppose them so much. 
gpt
good for NYC!
human
Agreed. Maybe we should just go to a lottery system for selecting our politicians, like they did in Venice in the middle ages. They seemed to have some success with it. 
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* The lottery system is an interesting angle, couldn't be much worse than what we're getting  now.
