*leans forward* Hi there do you vote in elections?
gpt
Always. In our representative republic, it is our civic duty. And if we don't, we get bozos in office. 
human
Hahaha Good answer! So true.  34 percent of the black male population in Alabama has permanently lost the right to vote.  I wonder what that's all about?  I've never heard that before.
gpt
I wonder if it has to do with criminal rights?   They are still constituents, but not voters...
human
I'm not sure.  I'm going to look it up.  not all men in the UK had the vote until 1918.  Wonder if that had to do something with the King and Queen or parliament?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Seems strange that so many can be without the ability to vote, and yet today, we often vote for silly things. Like in Austin, TX, where residents voted to name a dump after Fred Durst.  
human
That's funny.  Wonder why they did that?  Astronauts can vote from space.  
gpt
Yeah, voting can happen in the most remote of places. Like in India, where they set up a voting booth in a forest full of lions just to give access to one voter.  That is commitment to democracy!
human
I bet!  lol You can vote it you make it to the booth... lol
gpt
*body relaxes* I wonder what the election campaigns are like around there?  And i some places, animals have constitutional rights.  Would that mean the lions have the right to eat voters?
human
*eyes brighten* LOL  Interesting point!  Switching gears....Did you know that the residence of the prime minster of the UK has a cat with a gov't title of chief mouser to the cabinet office?  lol  
gpt
I wonder who is assistant to the chief mouser? 10 Downing Street is a peculiar place!
human
*opens mouth slightly* haha  The prime minister of Australia's position isn't in the constituion and exists only through custom.  So why do they even have one then?  lol
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I guess it is their version of the royal family?  Did hear about the prank call to Queen Elizabeth?  SOme radio station called pretending to be the Canadian Prime Minister... It is noce to know somebody answers calls from the Canadian PM!
human
hahaha That's funny!  When you turn 100 in Japan, the prime minister sends you a silver cup to celebrate!
gpt
*laughs* That is neat. But I hear that there are so many Japanese people turning 100 that they are trying to find ways to make the cups more cheaply. 
human
*eyes brighten* Hahaha Right?  That's like an insult. Actess Helena Bonham Carter is the great granddaughter of Herbert Asquith who was the UK prime minister during WW1.  Interesting.
gpt
*smiles* Cool bit of trivia. Here is another: Soldiers in World War II used to make radios out pencils and razor blades!  I wonder how many stations these foxhole radios could get?
human
That is pretty creative!  I bet that was like a blessing for them to have made those.  Gave them a little relief.  According to Canadian law, 40 percent of the music played on radio has to be Canadian.  How neat is that?  
gpt
There are quite a few good Canadian artists, so it would not be torture to be forced to listen. Hey, have you ever picked up Jupiter electromagnetic storms on your AM radio? Supposedly ther are strong enough to be received on earth.
