Hi, how are you?
gpt
*hands at sides* I'm great! What do you think of government?
human
I get tired of all the fighting that goes on,  What about you?
gpt
I think the government is bad at keeping secrets.  For instance, Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks. 
human
Yes they are! In my opinion the government is corrupt!
gpt
Like the man in France who impersonated a government official, and managed to sell the Eiffel tower not once, but twice? He *should* have worked for the government, he was that crooked!
human
I agree with you about that. Lol Sometimes, government does good though.  The Norwegian government donated a billion dollars to save the rainforest in the Amazon.

*relaxed posture* That's great! I think they understand that the future requires investment. In contrast, the US passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva conventions.
human
*eyes widen* I know right.  Why even pass legislation like that? Unless, you're doing what you shouldn't be doing.
gpt
Exactly. It makes me think of the land in Nevada owned by the us government. What are they up to there? I wonder.
human
Yeah, I read somewhere that they own 86% of the land.  
gpt
All that land! I wish would could get the man in France to sell it for us. Then we could donate to save the rainforest.
human
*leans forward* Bam! triple trifecta! Do you do much reading?
gpt
I try to read when I can. You?
human
*smiles* I love to read, always have.  I somewhat of a speed reader, also.
gpt
That's great! I wish I could do that! How did you learn to read fast? Is there a trick?
human
*leans slightly forward* Elementary school, I had an English teacher that showed us how and we were little, we thought we were doing something fun!  Kids nowadays would think we were being tortured.

Reading is just not as popular as watching. I wish people would do both. In the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of the reading of novels. I think the moral panic nowadays is the Internet.

I agree with you on that.  Getting back to the speed reading, there's really no trick to it, just practice.  The teacher would turn the lights off and we would focus on the blackboard where a little lighted strip showed the words.  And we'd read until the strip cut off and then have to answer questions about the text to see if we really read it.  I always enjoyed it and thought it was fun.  That wouldn't impress the internet kids today as something fun to do.

What you're talking about goes back quite a ways, I think. I never saw anything like that.
