Timely questions

Interestingly I happened to answer the phone tonight and found myself in the midst of a consumer survey. People call during all times of the day to give over the phone questionnaires about different subjects. Most of the time I simply say, "no thank you , I don't have a free moment", but something made me stop and re-evaluate. This evening's survey was to ask my views on the possibility of legalizing gambling in the state of New York. I think the timing is very odd and coincidental, I'm really not sure how I feel about this at all. Especially since I have heard so much about what is happening in Macao. This one simple phone call made me realize something huge: this is happening globally. What can this mean?
