The Case of Cutting and Running
[/ QUOTE ]Why do some folks always append "running" to the term "cutting"? I do not consider myself as "running" from anything (except mistakes) when I'm folding a hand in poker and cutting my losses.
"Running" implies cowardice.
A mistaken assumption as far as poker (or Iraq) is concerned.
[ QUOTE ]
I do admire people who can form coherent thoughts and communicate them well.
