.....They had a card table out in front of the post office.....
I encountered them in the Atlanta airport. They were a refreshing pronuclear change from the anti's. I worked as a contractor for TVA on several nuclear plants and welcomed their message.
I especially liked the Fusion articles describing the very wide use of spiral geometry in living things. Manu of the articles describing the old arguments between 18th and 19th century minds went over my head though.
---You remember the good ol' days when there were beds set up in the factory floors so that "WINOs"---
It's true! When I worked at Ford, there were parts bins in strategic locations where the hard core drunks that were on janitorial could go and to catch up on their drinking and catch some winks. One guy, who suffered brain damage in a work accident, just stood in one area with a mop all day.
It was common to bring hookers in the back of campers into the parking lot, and there was some major drinking and gambling going on.
I worked there 3 1/2 years and was laid off with 90% pay, all three years, for periods of 4-5 months. I completed 3 semesters of college that way, but when we worked it was 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Once I was working 7 days a week: 5 days @ 12 hours each, Saturday for 10 hours, and Sunday for 8. That's a lot of overtime!
