Not quite Jacob. And this is all my opinion I don't know how correct I am about all this. I was just thinking about it one night while reading the threads on this board. I think everyone can agree that Cosa Nostra ain't what it used to be. Do these guys adhere to that ancient code of the Mafia anymore? Or is it now just a bunch of thugs who happen to have Italian last names? Is it about "honor" and "family", secrecy, and silence? Or does none of that matter, just the dollars and the power? Aside from the Zips I really cant see it. So many rats, informants, flippers, etc.
It reminds me of the Sopranos "Commendatori" episode where Paulie just walked around Naples saying that to everyone. So detached and so clueless.
