GOODFELLAS 1990
"After awhile, it got to be all normal. None of it seemed like crime.

We corrupt in order to rule. - G. Mazzini, Founder of the Mafia That quote could just as well be attributed to one of our local political parties. Anyway, in regards to the Mafia, it is an international conglomerate with connections at very high levels. Its octopus-like tentacles permeates all levels of society as they exercise an iron-claw grip on all their networks. To go against them would be ...
