Hi, how are you?
gpt
Good, but a little sad that the Superbowl is over. Do you like football, and if so, what did you think of the Superbowl this year?
human
I didn't watch, but I heard it was pretty slow. It got exciting at the end. The Patriots won again. Hm.
gpt
If you like a high scoring shoot-out, this was anything but that. I like the fast-paced style, similar to Canadian football. This installment was tediously slow. A defensive battle.
human
*calm eyes* Last year's Superbowl was better. Quite a contrast to the drubbing that Cumberland took in 1916.
gpt
*laughs* These teams needed something to help them perform better offensively--maybe a fight song--somthing similar to the one written by Snoop Dog for his son's school.
human
Snoop! He really has the talent. He should run for office, maybe president.
gpt
*laughs* I wonder what his net worth is these days. Did yo know the highest paid employees of the US Department of Defense are football coaches? But I bet they can't rap!
human
Sports brings in the money, so coaches command high salaries. In an age when we need scientists and engineers, the money goes to spectacle.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yup. But our children are trained that way. Have you ever been to a high school football game in Texas? Down in Allen Texas they have a high school stadium worth ^60 million and which seat 18,000 fans. Yeah, we train our children toward spectacle.
human
The parents and community members in those Texas towns probably don't have much else for entertainment. Still, once high school is done, those students will not be players. They need education.
gpt
That is unless the high schoolers go on to college, where the spectacle continues! 14 or the world's 25 largest stadiums are at American colleges.
human
Schools want money, and alumni want winning teams. It's funny that bowlers used to make more money than football players back in the 60s.
gpt
Bizarre, right?  I live in a college town, and on game day, flags are flying all over town, with the biggest being a 1000-lb American Flag monster at the football stadium, screaming, "If you live this country, your gotta love this game!"
human
I enjoy football, but not to that degree. People should devote more time to following presidential politics.
gpt
*eyes downcast* Those presidential wanna-bes will soon be invading all the early primary and caucus states, but it will be a while before they fill up stadiums like the President. Lincoln was the first president to be photographed for his inauguration, and John Wilkes Booth was in that picture. Ironic that it signals the death of humility in Politics.
human
The next election is bound to be an interesting. i don't know who the Dems will finally pick, but for the next 12 months it will be confusion. I've heard that the White House still usues floppy disks. I wonder if that's for security.
gpt
*slouches* Maybe. They should use fancy encryption technology, but then they would not know how to translate them back to english. FDR was the last president ot be able to speak a foreign language fluently. 
human
Well, I enjoyed chatting wtih you!
gpt
And I enjoyed texting with you as well. I the presidential election makes a turn for the better. I hope the victor gets a clean majority of electoral AND popular vote to send a strong message to washington.
