>>> However, I don't drink his Kool-Aid either (I don't remember that phrase).
In the late 1970's (I think) Jim Jones developed a cult following and eventually led his flock out the USA to a country in Central America. They set up a settlement called Jonestown. As the cult members families' began complaining, the US officials began investigating, leading to a gory end. At the end, many of the followers blindly followed Jim's last direction - to drink the poison-laced Kool-Aid. I think paper cups were found beside the many, many bodies. I can't remember how many died in the misguided mass suicide. Thus came the expression, "to drink the Kool-Aid"... Karen Thomas, NC
