Thirty yrs. since "Jonestown." Maybe we should not use that name at all, or maybe we should never forget it. Jim Jones. A real "All-American" name.It's been thirty yrs. for the woman who talks here.
MSNBC, having exclusive footage which only cost NBC News a reporter & a camera operator, has been working up to the anniversary for some time, & now features this AP story.
If for nothing else, we should remember it for the phrase "Drink the Kool-Aid," which wasn't what was actually consumed, but we suppose the Yankee mind is too limited to grasp anything w/o a price on it.A perhaps deeper look at The People's Temple & other "suicide cults," from Salon.
