SC, I was up late and that was probably me rambling on and on. I guess what I was asking, was if Anastasia would have met Gotti, would he have tried to convince Gotti not to become a gangster? I hope that clears the question up. Kind of like how Sonny convinces C out of becoming a gangster in A Bronx Tale.

Turi Giuliano although I like Gotti, you are right about him being cocky. Gotti is one of those people who (although they are not a great boss) still makes you like them. A few months ago when I was not into all of this "Mafia" stuff, I did not like Gotti. Back in 2000 when I read some special section on the Mob in some magazine, I could not stand Gotti or the "Mafia." When I started reading more about them a few months ago, I started to like some of the people in the "Mafia." Gotti was one of the people whose personality just stuck out among the rest. I do not agree with what they do, but some of the people are likable and respectable. So my whole opinion about the "Mafia" has changed. I used to be such an innocent kid too.

People can change!
