I apologize for writing in English: my workplace computer has some Hebrew-phobia.

Well, one quick thing that comes to mind is the happy story of the Japanese city of Kobe:
http://vathena.arc.nasa.gov/curric/land/kobe.html

After taking control of most building contracts in the city, and consolidating it's power over all building contractors in the city, the local Yakuza (Yamaguchi-gumi) made millions of dollars from construction-related corruption - like saving in concrete and forcing cheap illegal building methods.
Then came the earthquake of 1995, which was not one of the strongest in Japanese history. But many new buildings collapsed, all built by Yakuza-controlled contractors. 200000 (two hundred thousand!) people lost their homes.
There were, as I recall, quite a lot of deaths.

Guess what? The Yamaguchi-gumi then came to the help of the poor locals, aiding them with blankets and food, even taking part in the lynching of corrupt contractors...
What kind and compassionate people...

thanks, bt it's not the firefox. I't's the mandriva linux
