Have you heard about the teenagers running for governor in Kansas? 
gpt
Yeah, so they moved forward a bill that bar people from running for office who were under 18, Crazy. 
human
*lips slightly parted* That is kind of crazy, but good for those kids to show initiative. Maybe it can inspire younger voters to get out and vote.
gpt
Yeah, voting is so important. In India the government set up a polling both in a forest filled with lions -- and for just one voter. 
human
That's really cool. I didn't know this, but astronauts are able to vote from space.
gpt
That's awesome! In Austin, Texas, people voted to rename their trash dump after Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. Haha. 
human
I agree with the sentiment that Limp Bizkit was not great. 
gpt
Haha. Amen. In the UK, not all men had the right to vote until 1918. 
human
That's crazy. It makes me sad that 34% of the black male population in my state has permanently lost the right to vote.
gpt
That is sad. And insane. Every citizen should have the right to vote IMO. In Texas, they elected their first female governor before some states had even given women the right to vote. 
human
*takes a step back* I agree, it should be a basic right that nobody should lose. That's awesome for Texas. 
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I also read somewhere that the Beatles' song "Come Together was written for Timothy Leary's 1969 campaign for governor of California. Who knew?
human
*raises eyebrows* That's a fitting song I guess. I've heard speculation that James Buchanan might have been our first and only gay president. He had a boyfriend whom other politicians referred to as "his better half."
gpt
*laughs* Very interesting. Good for him. In Kentucky politicians have to swear an oath that they've never been in a duel before they're allowed to take office. Maybe a law that's needs to be updated, eh?
human
That does need to be updated! They say that Chicago got it's nickname "The Windy City" after the boastful loquacity of its politicians rather than the actual gust of wind that shoot between buildings.
gpt
*smiles* I can see that. There are no Walmarts in New York city because the local politicians and unions don't want one. Maybe the only place in the US that doesn't have. Haha. 
human
I couldn't imagine that at all. There's a Wal-Mart on almost every corner where I live.
gpt
Same. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor, he had to fly to Sacramento every day by private jet because he did not live there. 
human
I'm surprised he didn't take a helicopter. Everyday he could say "GET TO THA CHOPPAH!"
gpt
*eyes brighten* Hahahaha! Perfect. North Dakota's governor declared martial law and seceded from the US in 1934.
