Thanks for using the correct descriptor. It is a disservice to those who died through no choice of their own, as well as those who managed to flee, to portray the entire group as a homogeneous group of mindless sheep who went willingly to their own deaths.

Jonestown is my first memory of mass media. I was in Kindergarten and I remember trying to get my head around poisoned “Kool Aid” and why so many people died. I remember seeing the bodies on the TV news and asking my mom what was going on. I’m 45 now and I can still vividly remember where I was in the room when I saw what happened at Jonestown.

And it wasn’t even Kool-Aid at Jonestown. It was Flavor Aid.
