>>Perhaps Dragaerans are smarter about such things. We have had efforts to disrupt the mafia in this country (such as the attempt to keep them off the west coast in the 50's and 60's, or the efforts against them by RFK), and not only have these efforts been largely unsuccessful, but the alternative criminal organizations that have sprung up, such as the street gangs of LA, are arguably worse than the mafia would have been. The traditional mafia tends to discourage violence in day to day activities; it's generally bad for business. Things can still get out of hand, of course, but at least you know where to find the people responsible when there is an "incident".

On the contrary, the Mafia's illegitimate branch has come on hard times 
since the '70s.  And gangs have nothing to do with Mafia activities or 
lack thereof.
