Hey there, I found it pretty interesting that the Presidential runner-up became the Vice President until 1805 
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Hi. I thought that was awesome too. But now they have more choice in who they can work with. I thought it was awesome that Canadian law requires radio stations to play Canadian music 40 percent of the time.
human
Yeah that was pretty interesting too. At least they are supporting their artists. The first couple articles were a bit frustrating - I feel like we're confusing politics with popular culture too much anymore.
gpt
Yes. We have. It seems as if every pop star has to get in on the political scene now. 
human
Agreed, and we have our President and his staff/family getting into arguments, and every normal person wants the spotlight talking about politics
gpt
I thought it was interesting that the President of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office. We need more artistic expression and less politics.
human
*smiles* Totally agree. Much less divisiveness in art!  How about the President of Zimbabwe being called President Banana - I laughed a lot at that fact
gpt
*laughs* I thought the same thing. And the guest house of our President is larger than the White House. I had no idea!
human
I think I may have heard that before, but I could be making stuff up haha. I wonder who made that decision. I was surprised the parties didnt start using red/blue colors until 2000
gpt
I was too. News casters always focus on that during elections. And who came up with the Donkey and Elephant thing?! I think we need a third party. There hasn't been a US President who was a Republican or Democrat since 1853.
human
Thats a good question - I've wondered about the animals too. I wouldnt argue with a third party either - speaking of consistency, its wild that Nixon and Bush have been so frequently on election tickets
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I did not realize that either. I would have to see if that fact is really true with Wikipedia even thought I trust our requestor friends. I thought some of the facts about radios were wild. The fact that Jupitar has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an am radio. I thought they were going to tie back radios to when earlier Presidents started to talk to the public on them but the fact section didn't.
human
*raises eyebrows* I thought it was weird that radio facts were thrown in there too, but definitely interesting. Id like to see one of the homemade radios soldiers used in WWII. I dont know how a razorblade and a pencil could transmit
gpt
I think it must be the carbon inside the pencil. It doesn't seem possible at first glance to be either must it has to be some sort of chemical properties/science thing. I would like to see that website where you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas for free. I think old time radio is so interesting like that where everyone was scared of a fake Mars invasion.
human
*takes a step back* You definitely have more scientific knowledge than me! I'd like to see that website as well - its cool we're archiving so much. Its crazy that a finnish station broadcasts in classical latin too - you wouldnt think too many people would speak latin
gpt
I was really surprised at that time. Latin is always advertised as being a 'dead language.' My old teacher said that people are not even certain how to pronounce it. But, if you think about it, scientists 'speak it' because of how they categorize everything. I guess those Finnish people want to make sure that people can practice their Latin.
human
*slouches* Maybe its some sort of educational initiative - learn by hearing? Sounds more cultured than Trump Jr. and Anderson Cooper having arguments - why cant we just be civil?
gpt
I guess people have forgotten 'The Golden Rule." The manager of Midtown Tavern was wise when he said, "We just try to stay politically neutral. We're a restaurant."
human
*shoulders droop* Yes, that is a good stance to take. Its a shame they even have to justify their opinion. Why was the radio station even making an issue out of it?>
gpt
Many radio stations need a story to draw listeners in. Sensationalism I suppose it would be called. I don't think the media always has an 'agenda' even though the sometimes do.
