Lew, after reading your post by Hunter Thompson, I couldn’t help but think of these quotes: Michael Corleone: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a President or senator. Kay: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don’t have men killed! Michael: Oh. Now who’s being naive, Kay? And from Godfather III: “Politics and crime, they’re the same thing.” — Michael Corleone
