All right, you guys are going to think I'm nuts for saying this but I'll post it anyway.
There is one thing about the mob that I do kind of admire, and it's the apparent lack of ageism. It's not like much of the rest of society, in which people are considered over the hill when they turn 40. Seems like in the mob, no one cares if a 90 year old is still actively pursuing their career. In fact, one gets the impression that the mob is one of the few sectors of society in which the elderly are taken seriously as actual human beings.
Of course, I could way off base with that, but it's the impression I get. They seem to lack the creepy youth fixation you run into everywhere else. Of course that doesn't excuse all the horrible shit they do. You've obviously never seen Sonny Franzese get his diaper changed  .

I know, and the name is still up in a similar post I made a few years ago. I guess I just feel bad for his ex because she's sending three sons to prison this summer. And actually, one of them never made bail, so he's already at the MCC pending sentence. So call me an old softie  . I wonder how she feels about him bringing their sons into the life.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
