It's a great question. Could it be the ease of a volunteer service? The use of force rather than politics to achieve impatient goals? The economic wealth that demands intervention to sustain it? The erosion of what it means to be a citizen?

I remember the first time ever in a casino in Windsor...was playing on a 25 dollar black jack table with another person's money...felt like I couldn't lose.
