Yes, Furio...earning an honest living playing his accordion in the middle of the train/bus station making money to send home to his kids in Romania. In the US that's one step above a bum.

Guess you didn't think I read the article when it happened.

edit: For the record, Italians don't have a problem with gypsies, per se. Like I stated in an earlier post, that they don't take kindly to most immigrants. They have a hard enough time dealing with their own troubles, they don't need that of illegals as well.
And if that makes me racist to say so... so what? I don't like them, and I've seen plenty over there. I have a right to feel the way I do, call it whatever you want.
