I would have thought my childhood fascination (hey, it was 1970's rural Ireland) with cults and counterculture might have inured me to the darkness behind this blog.
See, despite their twistedness, I found Squeaky gawkily beguiling, Susan Atkins pitiful, and Blue downright laughable. I was surprised, impressed even, at the level of open, democratic debate in the final, fevered hours at Jonestown. Being 'Tania' was how Patty survived; anyway, we'll never know what's behind those hard, bright eyes. Oh, and by the way, funny how we all recall the hot white chick with the leather coat and sexy gun-totin' style, but who the hell remembers Cinque Mtume? And don't tell Kris Colby but last October, while she was sleeping off her jet-lag and while I was losing the battle against my own, I still managed to stumble down this street.
Okay, so that's my macabre secret interest. But this. Understanding does involve reaching out but there are some stretches that just go too far.
