The Gangs of New York
There is an interesting article on the New Yorker’s website about the career of an FBI agent who came to work for the very Mob figures he was suppose to be investigating. No surprise here really.
I mean the FBI and the Mob are simply two parallel gangs of armed men who use force on others for their own benefit, eh? I mean whether the Boss is some grizzled old goon with an Italian or Sicilian ethnic background or a "freely elected" (i.e.- three wolves and a sheep voting on dinner), mayor, governor, or president, the desire to control others for one’s own benefit, status and profit is essentially the same in either case it seems to me. A hierarchy is what it is, regardless of how it comes to be.
