Recently was reading an interesting article about the beginnings of the Mafia. Apparently some Plantation owner got threats and went to some officials in Rome. The government flipped out an initiated a series of brutal crackdowns all over Sicily. But the Mafia survived, and whether we like it or not it's still there. So what would happen if the crackdowns succeeded and the Mafia was wiped out?
