It's easy when you have the facts on your side, Mackie .

I don't claim to always be right. I've been wrong about plenty of things in my life. I ain't smarter than any of you guys, probably just older than most of you. You only gain knowledge through years of being stupid. Trust me on that .

But if people want to jump in here and discuss certain areas (like the Bronx and East Harlem), and certain people with me, they better be equipped with more than just a copy of "Five Families," and a subscription to Jerry Capeci's website---And for the record, I have immense respect for both Selwyn Raab and Jerry Capeci. They're TRUE journalists, unlike that putz.
