I think we don't put the emphasis on voting in the US that we should. 
gpt
You may be right.  I know in Australia you get a fine if you don't vote.
human
*tilts head* Wow I wonder if that would motivate people in the US to vote or if they would just pay it and move on. 
gpt
I know it increases turn out, but there are some who pay it.  I wonder how the astronauts vote?  
human
*raises eyebrows* I think they can send a vote back to earth. Seems like the last thing I would worry about if I was in space but they make sure to vote nonetheless. 
gpt
What do you think about the Canadian national anthem change?
human
*raises eyebrows* I didn't know that it changed. What did they do to it?
gpt
They made it gender neutral, removing sons and replacing it with us.
human
*tightens jaw* Huh..that seems unnecessary and a waste of time that could have been better served to do something else. 
gpt
Is the US one gender neutral, I can't think.  I'm originally from England and am not a citizen, I never know what to do during the anthem.  I decide to just stand.
human
*narrows eyes* I guess we say we in the US anthem. As a woman though I just can't see getting offended because it says sons instead of a more gender nuetral term. I would rather the government look to the serious issues like the earth and the poor. 
gpt
You are right.  The important things first and then the details.  What's that book called, 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff'
human
Yep pretty much. Our senate seems more concerned with the small stuff than the bigger picture. If only they could work together and be less concerned with what women wear or their candy desk
gpt
Probably more concerned with the candy desk, need to make sure that is well stocked.
human
I can't fault them too much though. As a rational human being I might need larges amounts of chocolate to deal with that lot too. 
gpt
I used to live in D.C., I'd go past the Capitol all the time, but I never went in.
human
I've never had the chance to take one of the tours when I've visited DC. Would have been fun to visit in the late 80's and early 90's. Seems like they were really shaking things up back then. 
gpt
I used to deal with some of the Senators, or their offices, they seemed less officious when not on camera.
human
So most of it is just bluster for the media? That seems like narcassism at its finest. 
gpt
*squints eyes* Mostly just like regular people.  It depended on the Senator.  I did an event with Ted Kennedy about 20 years back, he seemed very self important.
