In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity about our government and its policies, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words to his own people During a recent interview, Prime Minister Tony Blair of Great Britain was asked by one of his parliament members as to why he believes so much in America and its President. And does he think America is on the right track? Blair's reply -- "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in ... and how many want out."

If Long John Silver trained and armed all their managers...then announced it to the world, they would have no robberies. Demanding that employees submit to assault is pathetic. Firing employees who are willing to fight for their life is dumb. This will backfire.

>>if you work for some one else , you do what you were hired for and instructed on how to perform.. otherwise subject yourself to termination. My kids are under strict orders to never work at a fast food store, a convenience store, a gas station, a liquor store, nor anyplace else that's reasonably likely to get knocked over by armed robbers. I feel like people who work in those places are like fish in a barrel. They should get extra pay if they work in urban "combat zones."
