In today's world there is really no 'up-side' to a life of crime unless you come from the bottom of the barrel and have no other hope. You can make just as much legitimately and not have to kick up to some greedy boss [ unless you count the government ] or spend a decade behind bars with animals. Id rather own a chain of stores or apartment units and be my own boss without having to deal with a bunch of violent, uneducated, knuckleheads.

Im thrilled that my grandfather was far-sighted enough to steer the family far away from that life otherwise I might be living a nightmare right now.
