Jim Jones, the Kool Aid, & the death cult mentality
i remember seeing all the bloated dead people at jonestown, and my mind snapping at the spectacle. suicide en masse for the love and devotion of one maniac, wielding a bible and cheap charisma.

that about sums up where we are now, one maniac, with just enough brainwashed losers to pull off a mass horror beyond imagining.

'drinking the kool aid' enters our lexicon referring to the jim jones suicide cult. voluntarily turning off your mind and drinking the cherry flavored drink you know will kill you.

when it happened, the mass suicide, i knew that it wasn't the first time, or the last time.

2. Ew I remember that
IIRC they shot the ones who wouldn't drink the stuff. :scared:

It makes one wonder what Bush would do if one day one of his multitude of scandals finally blew up in his face and they exposed the man behind the curtain for what he really is. I bet he'd take a whole lot down with him.

4. Lots of folks drinking the kool aid,
but these days, the poison is slower acting. It slowly kills off brain cells in the frontal cortex leaving the victim devoid of free will and individuality. What's left is a body that can be used like a bic lighter.

Lots more insane shit is coming down the pike.
