We call that in the Army putting foo-foo dust on something. You take it from one thing and make it another. Bob Greene, a columnist, wrote a column about the great American give-up. And he said gambling is a symbol. And finally, it's a give-up by the people gambling because what it says is we're willing to be made losers of.
People go to gamble bringing what they're going to lose.
They don't bring money to win. So, I think it hits because America no longer believes in its future. So, if it doesn't believe in its future then why not worship at the god of chance. I think our leadership has given up on us. The American people are fine.
