If you want to learn how to govern effectively

you might look at the history of a mob boss that died of old age.

When you think about it a mob boss actually manages to govern his mob at the will of his underlings. If they decide that he's not being fair to them they generally whack him. They don't play by the same rule book the rest of us play by.

You have to be pretty sharp to run a mob outfit and die of old age.

You have to run a successful outfit and make enough money to meet payroll every time. You have to take care of your people, and their families. The list a mob boss has to do to be successful is pretty much endless. On top of that they don't have a police force to back them up. In fact the police are out to get you.

When I look at government I often think it's too bad the rest of us don't play by the mob rule book. It would certainly change the attitude of Congress rather quickly. 

When the penalty for failure is waking up in cement overshoes on a sea bottom one's attitude takes a pretty sharp turn.
