Yeah, that Mike and Carol were wonders at getting expert testimonials to mold their children: Deacon Jones, Don Drysdale, Davey Jones, Old Mr. Honalei...
Ya fucking think? People don't blow their lives up for no reason. Aguirre, Byrne....... They get a calling, in Aguirre's and Byrne's case, it was always there. Meier might have witnessed this scum up close, taken many showers, and couldn't shake it. You don't make enough money from a book to risk a bullet. Also, he can never work on the Street again. Then again, neither can Crames.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. These guys own the government. They wine and dine them, and ply their coffers with every known favor.
