My blogs
| Introduction | This blog began on the day I became aware of a revisionist movement concerning the Peoples Temple and what happened in Jonestown, Guyana. In 1978 I was 16 years old and Jonestown was the first tragic world event that seared itself onto my consciousness. It was the same year I almost failed out of high school. The year I lost my virginity. The year I began to feel tired all the time. Now, almost 30 years later, looking back on a life where there was little respite from the arbitrary, loveless and cruel admonishments of others, Jonestown is forcing itself back into my thoughts. Forcing me to reconsider my lifelong relationship to tragedy and shake my tired bones into action against the anesthetizing forces of conformity, apathy and iniquity. It's the only good fight there is. |
