📓 Jostlers were avid readers who analyzed what they had read for anything worthwhile that might be learned. They read a lot of books, but they didn't read fiction because only the supposedly real people and real events of history interested them. They had no faith in blind faiths, kept a prudent eye on politics and religion, and had common sense enough to see theirs as a money mad world where money mad minds ruled supreme. They were working people getting together after work to air their grievances. Several of us found them fascinating and often sat in meetings as Note Takers. Their untraditional beliefs and their different views of life were fascinating, and that is what this book is about.
