Dear Am I Irish or German, never apologize for pointless speculation. It is the life blood of this BB. What if Sunny had supernatural powers and bullets bounced off his chest? What if the Corleones lived in Restoration England would they have worn powdered wigs? Fredo certainly.This type of thing is seriously discussed all the time.

You do make a good point however "good old boys" could have gotten the better of Vito et al. Think about Bert Reynolds in Smoky and the Bandit.Do you think he would had driven into an ambush like Sunny? No way.The heros of the "Dukes of Hazzard" would never had submitted to a congessional hearing.They would have hopped into their car with Daisy Mae and treated those senators to a high speed chase they would never forget.
I know you are new to this BB but you are quickly becoming an old pro.
