Great points, Capo. I've always said that at the end of the day, there is no difference between a crooked lawyer, shady banker, untrustworthy politician and a mafioso scumbag. They will ALL do whatever they can to get the fast buck - no matter how low they have to go or who they have to cross to achieve it. Oh, I apologize, the big difference is that the lawyer, banker and poltician pillage us everyday people "legally". How about wiretapping, tailing and charging the "legal mafiosi" under the federal RICO act?!?
(*DISCLAIMER - I admit that not every banker, lawyer and politician are dishonest and do not make that blanket claim*)
