PS: You know the biggest lie the American people ever swallowed about the mafia was that they are for the "little guy"

People try to paint a murdering bunch of scum like the democrats try to paint FDR.

"For the little guy" "they have honor" "They keep the streets safe" "They only want to be left alone to run craps games in the alley" and blah, blah, blah, blah..

Was that to me?

You misunderstand me sir. Please take a deep, calming breath.

I told you a bit of my family history which I probably never should have stuck on a public archive...out of shame, not out of any fear of being "caught" for something...

Now...if you think aobut it...this peculiar history (I didn't add the Jewish part, just figured it'd gum things up) is why it was so easy for me to break down and corralate terrorists groups into analogies of organized crime. I.e.: MOB I even made the mistake of making "Don" and "wiseguy" analogies.

I got flamed for THAT too, BIG TIME, by what you might call real mob-bots, right here on FR...but I didn't feel any need to explain to them. They didn't need to know.

...And my analogy worked, too.
