Jim Jones killed more African Americans than the Ku Klux Klan. Julia Scheeres, in her book, "A Thousand Lives," juxtaposes the preacher with Rosa Parks and the students who held a lunch-counter sit-in at the Greensboro, North Carolina Woolworth's. Thirty-three years ago today, the people of Peoples Temple committed "revolutionary suicide" by drinking fruit-flavored poison. On November 18, 2011, some people are still drinking the Peoples Temple's Kool-Aid. Read my book review @ the American Conservative of Julia Scheeres' "A Thousand Lives" on the anniversary of America's worst pre-9/11 loss of civilian life.
