It's just a movie, though, about NY. Is anyone else drawing your comparison? No Karen... It's historically accurate in general theme (although characters and the actual bloodshed seem hyped).. In fact, I was watching "History or Hollywood" on the History Channel and they effectively stated that the movie doesn't adequately project the true misery that the Irish faced living in the 5 points section..... That the reality was actually worse.. So it's NOT just a movie... It's a synopsis of how various powerful factions fought for control over the politics and economics of a city. And again Karen.. It doesn't bother me that you disagree with me... I can certainly handle that.. But I'm just asking you to try and provide a rational and realistic alternative strategy for achieving your goals.. The world is made up of some very bad dudes, who could care less whether you want peace or not... In fact, they are counting on people like you to undermine the West's ability to oppose them.. Hawk
