And unless you already have hired guns and or thugs to protect you, hippies are scarier than Al Roker in briefs trust me.
Stick to crimes that you know. Blackmail, getting someone fired because you dislike them, or even stealing your neighbors dog so that you can force him to let you have a pool party in his pool are all easy to do and require little in the way of genius. Bullying old women, knocking on doors and running away, and leaving nasty notes on windows of cars whose alarms go off for twenty minuets are also small compared to some major crimes, but they do build up your confidence in being the evil overlord that is your destiny. Remember, there are no small crimes, only small cries for help. Little steps at first and soon enough you will be holding countries for ransom before you can say "I have you where I want you!".
Lesson number three- research before you start.
I can never stress this rule enough people. The importance of good research will save you sometimes millions in the long run and quite possibly save your life. "What history forgets," as the saying goes "we are doomed to repeat." When you have decided on your mission and your agenda, go directly to the library or to the encyclopedia set that you bought in a drunken stupor last year and haven't touched, or if you arte hip to the "computers" go online. There is a world of information out there just waiting to be exploited and used nefariously. What do I research you ask? .
What the crime is! You cannot technically commit a crime unless you know what that crime is. If you cannot define extortion, or money laundering or even thievery, you should definitely find out what you should be doing before you do it. We all know the embarrassing story of the man who walked into a convenience store to rob it only to leave with less money than they went in with. .
Who are you oppressing? Too often we forget that there are other people involved.
