If you're in the life and you're married with children, it should be a SINGLE generation means to an end. The end being the education and legitimacy of your children. Period. Dragging your kids into that life, especially TODAY, is deplorable.

I'm no kid, and I'm around these guys all my life (in a peripheral sort of way, I've never pretended to be a fucking gangster and I never will). And it usually doesn't end well for the kids who get sucked in. For every Tore LoCascio, there are ten Craig DePalmas. Poor kid.

My two cents.
