Ā Ā Ā Many years ago, when we played what we called āpenny-ante poker,ā there was always an unhappy participant who, as the evening wore on, slid more and more of his chips (or coins) to the middle of the table and recovered very few of them. This guy didnāt want to give up, but neither did he have very good cards to play. He wasnāt good at bluffing, he didnāt want to rock the boat, he was perhaps a tad masochistic, so he would grudgingly go along when someone raised the stakes. He would āseeā the aggressor, but never raise him, and he would repeatedly sigh and mutter, āIn for a dime, in for a dollar.ā

Has there ever been a time when you should have spoken up and didnāt, but later you realized you were wrong?

Citizens must remove Trump from office
