Howdy folks; welcome one and all to ATI.

We've got a lot of great store in stuff
|

for you, and first up - an article by
|

ATI's originator, Prime Anarchist.

OUR MISSION YOUR FUTURE: A Real Look At Taco Bell.
|
||
in 3 parts by the Prime Anarchist
|
||
|
||
"Most energizing place to work."
|
||
"Up to $7 per hour."
|
||
"Need Motivated people."
|
||
Taco Bell's hiring. They're always hiring, aren't they?
|
||
Will they ever not? Not on this growth model, pal.
|
||
I was made a Taco Bell manager today. Well sort of.
|
||
Just for the day. I don't work for them, likely never will.
|
||
Sorry, I can't work for a man who drapes taped job app forms
|
||
from the ceiling in hopes to "lure" another fish. For me that
|
||
goes hand in hand with having an employee with his resume
|
||
online 24/7 telling the whole world he's "still looking."
|
||
I mean a market where someone offering 5/hr tries to
|
||
require a resume as opposed to a job app? Do these people
|
||
think an online resume will get them even 30 cents more per
|
||
hour??? Well I was a manager for a day because they'd fouled
|
||
up my order in a local store. I got two free meals as an
|
||
apology. And the only way to ring it up so I get me a free
|
||
meal in "proper" fashion was to call me a manager and ring
|
||
it in under the manager key. Otherwise the theft involved
|
||
in giving me a free meal would have to be called, well, theft.
|
||
Let's take a look at all that is Taco Bell. I mean a
|
||
real in-depth look. Don't just scratch the surface. Dig some.
|
||
What do we find?
|
||
Most of them are shaped like what? Like a southwestern
|
||
mission. And what kind of images does that bring up? 40% of
|
||
this planet would have to say genocide, repression, inquisition -
|
||
they would cite half a millenium of general bad mood.
|
||
Another 40% would call it some kind of outreach of something
|
||
trustworthy, noble, external, distant, not requiring any further
|
||
thought. That leaves 20?
|
||
Almost 20% (18.7 to be exact) would tell you right away they
|
||
just don't care. Not their world, not their life. Kind of like
|
||
an earthquake that kills 50 million people on some other planet
|
||
or something.
|
||
The other 1.3% of the world's population has a job shooting
|
||
gooey green guacamole-substance (tm) out of a grouting gun at a
|
||
Taco Bell near you!
|
||
|
||

|
||
"Fight the power, IWW," says a Taco Bell manager to a young
|
||
black counter person wearing dreadlocks.
|
||
"In fact I think when we print up new name-tags that's what
|
||
we'll make yours say - 'IWW.'"
|
||
It's nice to see the manager has plenty of time to think up
|
||
nicknames, after all the other Responsibilities she has to pay
|
||
out. Team Chief, I believe they call her. It was written on a
|
||
Taco Bell bulletin board one other time I was able to see from
|
||
the customer side of the counter. They choose to differ in name
|
||
I guess, from the McDonalds managers who are called Crew Chief.
|
||
Team Chief is in charge of telling everyone what to do; and
|
||
passing out nicknames. If she's caught doing anything else, she
|
||
probably gets written up for not following policy.
|
||
IWW (never did get her name) is in charge of squirting guacamole
|
||
from a device that looks like a short fat caulking gun. While
|
||
pushing avocado mush onto burritos that pass her by, she seems
|
||
adept at double-tasking - discussing opression, economic slavery
|
||
and "the man."
|
||
Taco Bell is owned by PepsiCo who has a reputation for treating
|
||
American employees much better than "those other companies" do.
|
||
But then, so does Microsoft. As do Coors, Gannett and come to think
|
||
of it - so did Henry Ford and Ross Perot. What do all these companies
|
||
have in common? Draw the word UNION inside a circle and put a big
|
||
diagonal red line through it.
|
||
Can that manager have meant the Wobblies when she called the avocado
|
||
gunner IWW? That's the only reference I can think of for IWW -
|
||
International Workers of the World. No one seems to know out there
|
||
how the nickname "Wobbly" came about.
|
||
Do they still even exist? I knew Workers World still puts out a
|
||
newspaper somewhere near Chicago, but they're a whole different
|
||
"animal." As are Catholic Worker, putting out their paper in New
|
||
York City. I know there are Catholic Worker houses all over the
|
||
United States and much of the rest of the world, each doing their
|
||
own version of Dorothy Day's published vision. But besides the
|
||
newspapers and the houses, is there still some semblence of a
|
||
workers movement out there?
|
||
The only two Wobblies I've ever met in person were in their 50's,
|
||
white, college educated and well dressed. The only things that might
|
||
stand out about them bringing the word "radical" to mind would be a
|
||
pipe wrench (monkey?) lapel-pin and dread-locked hair. That was New
|
||
Mexico somewhere and many years ago. Was it 1992? 1988?
|
||
Well, just a tiny bit of research shows that IWW is very active in
|
||
Seattle, WA; Ypsilanti, MI; and Philadelphia, PA. In fact, when asked
|
||
why Borders Books fired Miriam Fried, June 15, 1996; the Philadelphia
|
||
model employee (by Borders' own standards) sticks to, "For wearing
|
||
an IWW button to work," as her soundbite. The wider story includes
|
||
that, and also serving on union committees, signing flyers, and
|
||
petitions and raising embarrassing questions about company
|
||
policies.
|
||
Is it she who moved to my local Taco Bell to get picked on
|
||
by Team Chief? Or does she perhaps have a sister? Body double -
|
||
or coincidence?
|
||
"IWW Songs" was published 1991. "Something In Common: An IWW
|
||
Bibliography?" 1986. And "Solidarity Forever: An Oral History Of
|
||
The IWW" was 1985.
|
||
What could all this have to do with giving a new name-tag name to
|
||
a young black woman who works hard caulking burritos with guacamole?
|
||
Let's see what Ashley Montagu had to say about name calling in his
|
||
timeless text, "Anatomy of Swearing."
|
||
The most cultivated form of swearing is invective, which may be
|
||
defined as polite swearing. The shafts loosed in this form of verbal
|
||
assault are often most skillfully wrought. Though the target may be
|
||
discomfited, the wounds they inflict are seldom serious and upon
|
||
healing frequently leave the victim all the better for having
|
||
suffered them. The social function of ridicule, persiflage,
|
||
and invective has not gone altogether unrecognized in its
|
||
effect upon persons and upon institutions.

Shared Smiles
|
||
by Brooke Soles
|
||
Honduras
|
||
|
||
"here's an article i was asked to write for the
|
||
Peace Corps Times Newspaper. I was only allowed the
|
||
number of words I have here on this page so that's
|
||
why it may sound simple. Enjoy, brooke"
|
||
|
||
In the U.S., women deal with sexism on a daily basis.
|
||
Here in Honduras, we too experience these similar issues.
|
||
As a health volunteer, I find it empowering to work with
|
||
the local women<65>s groups. Also, considering I am vegan,
|
||
it isn<73>t hard to utilize what I<>ve learned about health
|
||
and respect for all living beings with my Peace Corps work.
|
||
Over the past year, I have worked with soy cooking classes,
|
||
organic family gardens, medicinal plant making, teaching
|
||
English, HIV/AIDS education, and several other health
|
||
related issues. In my village, most women understand
|
||
the benefits of what I am doing. In fact, two women
|
||
in my village are successfully selling soy enchiladas
|
||
to the public, and the health care workers are selling
|
||
medicinal plants made right in the health center!
|
||
One of the most rewarding experiences I have had
|
||
is teaching a "Como Planear Mi Vida" class to a group
|
||
of young adolescents in my community. We focus on sexuality,
|
||
gender, self-esteem, and making choices for their future.
|
||
It<EFBFBD>s satisfying to see young adults voicing their opinions
|
||
especially when others disagree with their opinions.
|
||
Health is not just about healthy eating habits, it<69>s
|
||
about community, the environment, the animals, women and
|
||
children, and all the facets that are the foundation for
|
||
societies around the world. Once we and our host country
|
||
nationals begin to see the true interconnectedness of life,
|
||
we will realize that we are not just sharing ideas of health
|
||
but rather sharing ideas on how to make this world a better place.

Dear Marco
|
||
Happy New Year from Red & Black Disco.
|
||
We're Pete & Jade. Red & Black is a mobile Disco
|
||
working around the North Manchester UK area. We're
|
||
based in Rochdale.
|
||
We offer a full mobile disco service. Something
|
||
for everyone with music from the twenties right
|
||
up to latest club mixes. Over 6,000 tracks all put
|
||
through a state of the art digital 600 Watt rig with
|
||
full light show. As anarchists by persuasion we do a
|
||
couple of benefits and fundraisers for selected groups,
|
||
working ether for free or for a door split if there's an
|
||
admission fee.
|
||
Community groups, unemployed workers colectives, strike
|
||
committees, and gay/bi/trangeneder orgs. We won't work for
|
||
'registered' charities or any group where anyone in the
|
||
group is on wages paid by the group. I.e. "Professional"
|
||
fundraising organizations such as 'Shelter' definitely not
|
||
'Amnesty' nor 'Greenpeace'.
|
||
We've been up and running for over 15 years Jades 32 I'm
|
||
40 (something). So if any of your readers in our area or
|
||
further afield ( we did the anarchist squat gig in Amsterdam
|
||
a few years back.. if we're flush with cash we like to travel...
|
||
but usually we're pretty skint).. then they can contact us either
|
||
at our e-mail docpete@tinyworld.co.uk
|
||
or by 'phone on UK ....(0)1706-358179.
|
||
Good luck with the mag, if you've any spare copies we'll put 'em
|
||
out at gigs.
|
||
PS: Politically we're revolutionary anarcho-syndicalsts.. but
|
||
anything anarchist (NOT Libertarian) is a good enough cause for
|
||
us. AGITATE FOR CHAOS wherein shy individualities may bloom &
|
||
grow.
|
||
Yours comradely

Engineering the new WHOIS
|
||
by madmullah
|
||
|
||
Trouble was expressed regarding the new WHOIS now that
|
||
Internicky Servmaster is HQ's in Alexandria. (yes Clifford
|
||
Stoll, there IS a musty old book or 2 left...)
|
||
|
||
And this is the best response of the dozens we could gather
|
||
up.
|
||
|
||
It is not on the client's end, rather it is the server.
|
||
In essence they had a hissy fit, since they are not the
|
||
only ones who can register .com TLD'. In order to look a
|
||
domain up you must do 2 things;
|
||
1) whois <tld.arpa> this will tell you WHICH registry
|
||
has it and what their whois server is.
|
||
2) do a 'whois -H<server blah> <tld.arpa> of course,
|
||
without the '<>'s if you have fwhois on linux it is crap
|
||
now, broke so to speak. Get the ripe one or something and
|
||
compile it.
|
||
Yes it is dumb, so are a lot of things that Internic is
|
||
doing. mmm... doughnut...
|
||
.madmullah-
|
||
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
|
||
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
|
||
NSOL finally relented, kinda, and now allows multiple
|
||
companies to act as domain-name registrars. Unfortunately
|
||
they decided that rather than maintain a central database
|
||
for whois queries, you have to query the companiy that the
|
||
name is registered with.
|
||
Assholes.
|
||
Quote me on that.
|
||
You can get whois answers for most of the internet by doing:
|
||
whois <host.dom>@whois.networksolutions.com
|
||
Yeah, and at least they picked a nice, short, mnemonic domain
|
||
name for themselves.
|
||
See the above "Assholes" remark.
