The analogy applies because an individual who was eye witness to the tragedy survived largely because he was alert, saw the danger and then acted prudently and swiftly to it. Others thought that the dramatically increased danger was part of the show ... still others noticed no danger because of their state of mind at the time.

Our nation faces danger today that has increased dramatically. Some do not see it, others scoff at it, others think its part of the "show".

Like this tragedy, if we are not aware, observant, vigilant and willing to act wisely, resolutely and with dispatch to the rising danger, we may suffer terribly.

That's a straight forward as I can make it. The same analogy could be drawn in auto driving. If you are not alert to road and other driver conditions, and prepared to act accordingly ... you could easily be terribly injured or die.

Our nation needs those same qualities.

That's all.
