Walk away with your winnings

Sitting here in NYC and watching some of yesterday's 9/11 memorial services and the president's speech last night I came to the realization that we, the people of NYC, are no more safe than we were prior to 9/11 and are probably at more risk than ever. We will all hear the Republican administration tell us that we haven't had a major terrorist attack on American soil in 5 years and credit their security measures and the war in Iraq as the major contributing factors. Well I have to admit that, now and again, I have been know to hit the craps and roulette tables of various gambling dens across this great land and if there is one thing I have learned from these endeavors it is to walk away from the table when you are up, cuz sooner or later the house wins, your luck runs out and you have to pay the man... So let's put our winnings in the bank , count our blessings, fortifiy our ports, airlines, nuke plants and borders and get on that bus out of Atantic City (Iraq) with the rest of the blue hairs and stop tempting fate...Let's not confuse luck and timing with expertise and planning.
