Also, and in re your Kool Aid reference,
I spent my weekend reviewing many, many, many accounts of that Kool Aid-drinking event, and it sure seems like not more than a few of the victims actually "drank the Kool Aid". I mean there are about 50 books published on Jonestown, and not more than a few cleave to the official story, which, frankly, makes not a lot of sense.
I am thinking that one could say that this event, which went on and on it the Bay Area in the form of assassinations of witnesses to this or that, requires a nuanced interpretation.
Yep, Jones sure had a gift of the gab, and could influence people, including politicians, BUT, a whole lot of other shadowy players involved, it would seem.
