I hosted my monthly card group at the house last night. I have been playing with this same gaggle of gents for about fifteen years now, every second Friday of the month.
After such a long period of interaction, you really get to know each other. And I'm not talking about how they play cards; I'm talking about their lives, their jobs, their families and most of all, their observations about what's going on in the world.
Opinions flow as freely as the beverages, and the discussion eventually turns to the typical political pugilism that one would expect from a diverse group. However, last night, he overall tenor of the conversation was different.
There was very little optimism about the economy and the future from any sector of political persuasion. The normal sparring and banter was overshadowed by commiseration. There was an overriding aura of despair that could not be dispelled by even the wittiest quip or aspersion.
And what was most unusual was that there were no solutions offered. Nobody has any idea as to what needs to be done to put the country back on course.
Although not random, I would say that my little group is a fair sample of the population. And my unscientific poll indicates that citizen confidence is eroding and waning month by month.
It's really something to think about.
