Did you know that Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks? I guess that didn't work out so well.
gpt
Wow, didn't know that. Talk about spoiler alert. I heard a guy in France illegally sold the Eiffel Tower not just once, but twice.
human
*lips slightly parted* I wonder who was dumb enough to buy it? It would have been funnier if it was the same person both times. 
gpt
Yes, absolutely! Ha! Not only that but how come nobody in the French government noticed the impersonator?  Maybe he was some sort of look-alike. Not to change countries, but did you hear that 86% of Nevada is owned by the U.S. Government? That's sounds a little scary.  What do they have stored there?
human
I heard about that. I know there's a few military bases there, and area 51 is there I believe too. So there's probably a lot of missle test sites out in the desert there. So that might equate into some of that percentage.
gpt
No doubt in my mind! Still, it sounds like a secret they don't want us to find out. That's just another example of the balance between the idea of government authority and the principle of our individual freedom. 
human
*raises eyebrows* That is true. They're always seem to be up to shady stuff, just like in 2006 they passed legislation that would protect Government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva Conventions. 
gpt
Yes, that does sound shady to me as well. Geneva conventions are international law. Well, I guess we need government jobs to stay safe.
human
I guess so, why can't our government do good like the Norwegian government? In 2008 they donated $1bn to help save the Amazon rain forest!
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I know, right? How cool was that? The Amazon rain forest is very important to our whole ecology system of the earth we live on. You're right, why aren't we more like the Norwegians? Good Question.
human
*eyes widen* Our government waste money on things like making the president's guest house bigger than the White House!
gpt
Yes, that's all sorts of crazy, they should be spending money on things that make a difference like renovating the rain forest to make our planet more stable. Each government has it's own kind of constitution and philosophy and governing principles but ours is in need of an adjustment.
human
I agree, maybe we should have a president that releases pop albums like Indonesia's president has. He's released 3 while in office. Could you imagine if one of our past few presidents released an album?
gpt
Hey, that would be awesome if Trump would release a Mexican salsa dancing album where he dances and sings. That would go viral in an instant on YouTube. That would be a blast. The radio stations would pick it up and carry the sound through space and when the radio waves hit an electrical conductor,  it would be transformed back to the original. How cool would that be?  I'd watch it.
human
That would be pretty epic. Did you know that up until 1805 in the U.S. that the runner up in the presidential election automatically became the Vice President? Could you imagine that happening today? I think it would force both parties to work together more.
gpt
Yes, I agree that's probably why they changed it!  By the way, did you know that there's a website that has free radio dramas from the old days? Isn't that fascinating?
human
I would like to listen to that. It would help broaden the imagination listening to dramas instead of watching them. I could listen to it on the foxhole radio I made using a razor blade and pencil. My grandpa showed me how they made them in WWII.
gpt
Wow, that is cool, for real. I'd like to learn how to make a foxhole radio, myself.  I also heard that a Finnish radio station broadcasts "Nuntii Latini" weekly news since 1989. I guess you'd have to know Latin to understand it though.
human
I was fascinated as a kid when he showed me how to make it. I would be lost listening to that radio station! Did you know that in Canada that radio stations are required by law to have at least 40% of their music played be Canadian?
gpt
Yes, sounds pretty biased to me
