Happy Jonestown Massacre Day!

I hope that everyone has a happy holiday today.

For those of you too young to remember this and uninformed in this area, the Massacre was not a real massacre but a mass-suicide. It is also the origin of the phrase "to drink the Kool-Aid," indicating blind, unquestioning, maybe self-destructive obedience. Nine hundred and thirteen out of approximately 1000 people committed suicide at the instruction of their charismatic leader, Rev. Jim Jones. This is what religion, both the good part and the bad part, is all about: control. I am working on a larger text about this that I will bore the crap out of the reader but in segments.

What are your plans? Set up a booth with free Kool-Aid® and little pocket Bibles but only 913 servings and books.

It is not the first time and certainly will not be the last time.

Cheers! Gia'sou! Sláinte! Skál! Kampai! Sanitas bona! Oogy wawa!
