Ntra la porta tua lu sangu ï¿½ sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves. It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear. Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared "What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?" "Make Love Not War" John Lennon
