That was very well said Walt; I quite agree. Some people seem to be just
sitting around waiting for someone to pis them off. Your remarks were
totally innocent, and quite true for all I know. I frankly, would rather
live in a neighborhood that had a mob influence, so as to mitigate any
gang influence, that is of course, if I lived in a large city, which I
don't.

The only mob or even gangs that we have where I live, are racoons,
aposems, squirrles, crows and the like, but none of them own fine
restoraunts.
