1. So true......

The Trump family rules like a mob family. No morals.

6. To be fair...

Mob families have morals. They are simply different morals from other people.

7. Omerta and absolute loyalty.....

[jberryhill]

8. Yes, and unlike laws, which come and go, those are lasting values

9. I am part Italian and hubby half Sicilian

His Grandparents left Sicily in the very early 1900's to escape Mafia in Palermo.

14. I'm just saying...

...that it is not unusual for people to value loyalty to one set of principles or another above the law.

The law doesn't define what's right or wrong. It merely defines what is legal or illegal.

Now, sure, there are some very generally ideas about right and wrong which are widely held, and to which various laws roughly correspond.

Take something as simple as whether it is "wrong" to kill someone or "legal" to kill someone. Good golly, there are so many circumstances in which it is legal to kill someone, you could spend all day listing them. If the government decides to draft you, put a gun in your hand, and send you to the other side of the planet, you can kill a complete stranger with whom you have no personal disagreement whatsoever. By comparison, a mob killing, where you are asked to kill someone who has done harm to an organization which puts food on your table and looks after you is, IMHO, more "reasonable" than that. At least in that circumstance you know why you are doing it. And a lot of those circumstances where it's "legal to kill somebody", boil down to "having a good enough reason".

You can go through life never violating a single law, and still be the most immoral creature who ever lived.

2. When I first saw it,

I thought it said, “Monsters Are Governing America.”

11. I thot it read 'monsters' also. Which too would have been effective.

4. I keep thinking of something like one of greeting cards with speakers...

but the speaker is on a button and you take several of them to one of the Pig's touch myself rally.

Spread them around, punch a remote and it squeals like a pig.
