can remember when this same old shirt was relatively new……….. It was a hot humid morning when a few friends and myself drove into the parking lot of my favorite paintball field.

Jonestown can be viewed as the product of obedience, of people complying with the orders of a leader and reacting to the threat of force. In the Peoples Temple, whatever Jim Jones commanded, the members did. When he gathered the community at the pavilion and the poison was brought out, the populace was surrounded by armed guards who were trusted lieutenants of Jones.
