I hate the term. I was one of those who lost people dear to me at Jonestown, including a young man I taught to drive and a girl I babysat and, of course, their parents. It was almost impossible to live in the Bay Area during that time and not be personally affected. "Drinking the Kool-Aide" is beyond offensive to me. It is truly painful.
