Jim Jones followers are alot like Republicans. Brainwashed by religious leaders, hatred for logic, reason, and science. Easily duped by leaders who claim to "talk to God".

The only reason people voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 is because he's an evangelical. And like cult-members, Bushbots drank the kool-aid by the gallonload.

The Peoples temple moved their headquarters out of San Fransciso because of mounting criticism and reports of welfare fraud and child abuse-- hence the move to Jonestown. It's explicitly stated in the report (3:49) -- if you actually bothered to listen.

People followed Jim Jones the same way they follow Barrack Obama today.

It is so creepy that this was a news cast BEFORE they knew about the suicides.

No one I know in the San Francisco has forgotten. I'm in my early 20s and we all knew all about it when growing up.
