A Moment of Silence

On this day in 1978 in Jonestown, Guyana, the Reverend Jim Jones persuaded his followers to drink a death potion. 914 cult members were left dead including 214 children.
As far as I know this is the largest mass suicide in recent history (how many suicides were that at Masada to "escape" capture by the Romans?) and remains one of the strongest reasons why I'll never be indoctrinated into a cult. If the end result is death for the leader's glory then I think I'll pass.
And yes, I know very little about Jim Jones and don't want to know very much. Anyone who's personally responsible for the deaths of so many people isn't someone I have any interest in learning more about, just avoiding.
