Great reads guys.... good stuff...

Here is my thing with Tom... he ALWAYS seemed to want to reason things out and take the non-violent approach(which in normal real life is fine for the most part)... he would have been a bad Don in my opinion. You needed to be MORE Michael than TOM in order to "WIN" and "PRESERVER" and "TRANSCEND" the Corleone family name.

Tom would surely have been assassinated in one his meetings if he were a Don. Michale wiped any "meeting" members
