Here we go again. What is up with you people in thinking that the Mafia are a bunch of lowlife pieces of s**t when there are much worse people out there? The Mafia was and honored and loyal society for hundreds of years until the RICO acts kicked in, but you people are all thinking it was always bad because everyone was disloyal and became rats which is NOT true, disloyalty did not appear much within the Mafia until the 1970's when RICO kicked in.

Don Tommasino, the absolute best way for a Mafioso to stay under the radar is to keep a very low profile and NEVER a high profile. Many younger generations of Mafiosi tend to get tired of having to keep a low profile because they want to get noticed, so they kept a high profile, one of the reasons why the Mafia got weaker.

The five main reasons the Mafia got weaker: Drugs, Greed, High Profiling, RICO acts which led to many Mafiosi becoming rats, and technological advances with surveillance and other security purposes. The first three reasons basically led to the last two reasons.
