5. No one should miss this.

You will see why in the 04 primaries the ones who called Dean supporters Kool-Aid drinkers were way way over the line.

There was a movie about this. With Powers Boothe.

6. And remember, at the end, they had guns to their heads

so it was 'drink the Flavoraid or eat a bullet'

let that be a lesson to you: there's a point of no return before the Flavoraid comes out.

8. Powers Boothe was really remarkable in that role

I thought. I can't ever see him now without thinking of him as Jim Jones.
