Yeah, I heard one of Jones' speeches sampled, then looked into the man. He used to sell pet monkeys dorr to door to fun his faith. Odd. It never struck me that his son was still alive, and Stephan is... he though that his dad was losing it and didn not drink the poison but wante dto go south to talk to him...
But I love Distopias. Real (New Harmony, Fruitlands, Nashoba, Rugby. Oneida....) or fake (Hawhthorne's "the Blithedale Romance")
And Utopian/Comminitarian religion is my current subject of fascination. People's Temple, Heaven's Gate, Branched Dividians.... scary how common teh traits are found in living communities
