I agree... all except for that ugly wad of 'baccy in his mouth in that last pic...

The 9th corps list? The answer is YES. Okay, I'll clarify... it starts with the initial housing list from Sept 5, 1978, has some added (who finished with the 9th but didn't start with the 9th) and also has names crossed off (those who didn't graduate). I am on the list but crossed off, because I didn't graduate.

I'm looking at a list of 9th corps and there are only two persons on it with the initials LR and both are female.

This kind of bird? Or this one? or THIS one?

I think the fires are NW of LA...

I think you DO know... I think you hit the nail on the head... of course, I'm no professional on the topic.

That takes guts! :)

Well, Webb got more than 20 wins... and Lincicum did NOT... but the Gints didn't give Timmy boy quite as much support as Webb got... Which goes hand in hand with its converse, having no hesitation calling your best friend out on a very close play...

And it IS now official for Cliff Lee. He HAS been crowned the AL Cy Young winner.

No they cannot. At the time of the Jonestown incident, the US military had bigger cargo aircraft than the C-131. These included the C-130 Hercules (equipped with 4 turboprop engines), the C-141 Starlifter (equipped with 4 jet engines), and a limited number of C-5 (at that time the world's largest cargo plane). The C-5 could carry what you claimed. But even the C-141 was substantially smaller than that. C-131 pics I believe this is comparable to TWIs Ambassador ONE aircraft.

Not to be outdone by MSNBC, CNN will air a two hour special, "Escape from Jonestown" a few times... the first of which will be 9-11pm Thursday (today already for many readers...). Thanks for the link, Excie...

I think of the expression, "absurd juxtaposition."

And I'll STILL call him "Lush Rimbaugh."

I'm pretty sure that on my mother's side there are several of those types... they are from northern Arkansas, probably from back before the Civil War, but I did trace my maternal grandfather's line back to Germany in the 1700s... and on my dad's side, my grandparents came from Italy around the time of WWI.

NO! That's NOT just you! I prefer to call him LUSH Rimbaugh... after all, he IS an ADDICT. And Olbermann calls him "Comedian Rush Limbaugh." And let's not forget BILLO the CLOWN.

You've gotten several (gracious) replies, but I'm thinking that those who replied are NOT decedents. I'm figuring (and from the replies it looks like people were assuming) you meant "descendants." For I'm certain that any decedents would NOT REALLY be welcome to visit the good ol' greasespot cafe. :)

That WAS quite eloquent on his part, wasn't it!

And the NL Cy Young goes to ..... Tim Lincecum. Webb comes in 2nd in the vote. :(

Why would you feel the need to apologize for inserting your opinion? I don't think anyone is going to be offended that you stated your case...

That makes sense... and while Wierwille was paranoid to a degree, I don't think it was anything near as bad as Martindale...

It certainly doesn't offend me, or trouble me in any way that you agree with WD. I'm not saying I believe WD MUST BE wrong... I just don't see any reason for me to have any interest in the conspiracy theories revolving around Jonestown. That Jim Jones talked about socialism and communism doesn't make any difference to me either. The fact is, Wierwille talked about politics too. And somebody in TWI talked about books like None Dare Call it Conspiracy, the Bilderbergers, the Council of Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, etc. etc. Wasn't that stuff a part of the Advanced Class on PLAF? And frankly, I don't see how it relates to OUR understanding of OUR cult experience to know who killed some of the people that died at Jonestown... that is, UNLESS, the story of Jim Jones telling his followers to drink the poisoned kool-aid is complete fiction. And I don't think it's complete fiction. But by all means, for anyone who is interested in researching the actual events, the contemporaneous investigative reports from/by law enforcement and/or journalistic agencies is fine with me...

Hint -- there was NO answer for you to agree with...

Not claiming to be an authority. Have listened to people who were there. That content is included in the MSNBC documentary. However, you have not presented ANYTHING which compels, teases, or motivates me in ANY way to give even the slightest credence to your silly notions. Therefore, I MIGHT DO NOT WANT to read some of the, or listen to any more of the ... etc., etc., etc. And Waysider has a very valid point. But you don't.

Oh, but Waysider... you DO know that WD was SPOUSE corps, don't you? You have provided NO reason to ACCEPT the MYTH that Jonestown was a sinister CIA plot (or experiment). What you've shown is complete bulls*hit.

So, YOUR point is that there was some government conspiracy to get hundreds of people killed? I looked at your link. Right at the start, it refers to a "socialist" cult. I think that pretty much throws the entire spit load of stuff into the category of unmitigated bulls*it.
