Uhhhuh. I just bet you are a real Luca Brasi type. I can tell. Ex college professor and all. Romans. Perhaps the biggest colonizers in all of world history, one of whom now complains that there weren’t enough Jews in old Palestine or old Judaea to justify Israel. Of course, the Romans have quite a history with the Jews in Judaea, right? Your historical hatred, Dago blood boiling and all, showing a bit? You can give your NY Brooklyn tough hackles rest. From one old man to another. I’m Scotch Irish.

Meaning, you’re not REAL Irish. Your ancestors were sent by the British to occupy Northern Ireland. Fuckin’ Proddie colonizers!

I don't know. Luca Brasi tendencies perhaps when I hung out on the streets as a teen, but I think those have evaporated with the breakdown of my body. Those postures require energy I don't have any longer. Yeah maybe the dago blood boil comes from Rome via Mussolini and all deluded pseudo-conquistadors. It's a quandary. My neighborhood gang was an interesting mix of Dagos, Micks and Polish Jews, but that's NYC; growing up multicultural.
