Hi John,
Once in a while a story like this makes one completely wish for the good old 
days of... "it was a simple life!" And no harm done to anyone! We all 
managed without the hassles, frustrations and constant violence of today.

I wonder if KFC are receiving any negatives from people as we see happening 
on the list?

thanks for posting.
