*tilts head* Hey, see anything interesting in the news today?
gpt
Um, no not really. I did read some interesting stuff about the white house though.
human
Meh, who cares about the White House.  That place is a cesspool and so is the person living in it.  Surprised you even heard anything with him throwing journalists out


gpt
he threw some journalists out? when was that?
human
He revoked that one dudes press pass a few months ago, don;t remember his name.  He worked for CNN. Did you know the DOJ eliminated a section from the US attorneys manual for "need for a free press"?
gpt
This is tragic. even george bush thought that the press was necessary for a free society. he did not have a good relationship with them.
human
Yeah, GW wasn't my ideal president but he was a cool dude. He actually had solar panels put back on the white house.  I think Clinton might have had them installed
gpt
He did not come off as particularly articulate. First prez to install them: Carter. He was there for an oil shock.
human
I see.  Not surprised.  Good ol' oil. We stomp on anyone to get that sweet black texas tea.  If it weren't for the fact checkers in the media, we'd have taken over the world for it by now
gpt
Yeah, it is tough issue. people are addicted to the stuff like heroin. if there were more solar and stuff, people would not be so dependent on oil. when the price at the pump goes up, people grumble.
human
*curls lip* Same with produce from places like Mexico, El Salvadore, Costa Rica, etc.  Cheap produce, we love it.  But when somone reports how terrible the farmers or truckers are treated/paid that get it to us, we suddenly care
gpt
Yeah, we dont get the info until after the fact. people are price sensitive so they dont choose based on safety or ethics.
human
Ethics are disappearing.  If people didn;t get called out for stuff in the news we'd be in a dictatorship by now.  Seems like we are getting there some days.  Journalists need to be treated like heroes
gpt
*hands at sides* It is a risky profession. many journalists around the world die every year trying to report on events. It is not entertainment, but people need to pay attention.
human
True dat, my friend.  I know they get Pulitzers and other prizes.  Sometimes they end up dead, even.  Entertainment makes me laugh.  News about bombing civilians in Iraq doesn't make me laugh
gpt
Yes, there was a gal who lost her life covering war in the middle east. they recently made a film about her. i dont think i could do that job.
human
I could't be on TV.  Too pretty, lol.  What did you read about the White House earlier?  I think we got side-tracked.
gpt
Thats ok LOL The guest house is larger than the white house. HOw did that happen?
human
Yeah, I read that once, saw pics, too.  Place would be awesome to party in.  Get a couple DJ's and some questionable characters, good times.  Secret Service would probably join in.

gpt
That is a good idea. Get Kanye to drop some beats. Anyway, great chat!
human
Yeah, I gotta go eat some street tacos and get some toilet paper.  Totally related.
gpt
*hands at sides* Have a good weekend!
human
see ya
gpt
Bye
