Well there is the testosterone saturated Kennedy clan. Or how about those laugh-a-minute Hussein boys? You know, Saddam and his merry lads. Then there was Jessie and Frank James and the Earp siblings and Cole and the (lesser) Younger boys. And, of course, everybody’s favorites, the Corleone brood. Yeah. I can see where this family thing is a real spiritual yardstick.

People are doing what needs to be done without being reminded? no complaining about the costs of things or what the neighbors have instead of us? No demanding more and more for less and less? She or he is going arould complaining without approaching who they think is the problem? stirring stuff up between the siblings? Actually it sounds a lot like family
