#1 Lawlessness in the West Bank? I'm shocked! What are things coming to? Next, we'll be hearing about gambling in the back room!

#2 The PA cracking down on lawlessness is about as believable as the Democrats cracking down on over-spending.

#5 g(r)om,

as a native of the NYC/NJ area I am more than vaguely acquainted with the type of turf wars of which you speak (ever heard of Sam the Plumber?)

However, they were not couched in terms of "lawlessness" even when the cops were doing the turf management. ;^)

#7 Jeeez Jineter, that's a blast from my past.

In the midst of a misspent youth I worked one summer building in-ground vinyl swimming pools. The customer was the nephew of Sam, who was tied up in Rahway State pen IIRC, who wanted a pool for his grand-kds.
Several "funny" stories about that job. (the electrician's scheduled changed realllllly quick when he found out the client) 8^)
