I was reading the following article:

In the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, we have been urged not to depict all Muslims as terrorists, and we have been reminded that the Islamic doctrine of jihad or "just struggle" prohibits this kind of indiscriminate violence against non-combatants. Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaedde organization, we are told, are no more typical of Islam than James Jones or David Koresh were of the Jewish and Christian tradition...

Who was James Jones?

It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.

Oh, Jim Jones. Jonetown. No one called him James that I know of.

He led the cult that all killed themselves after drinking the poisoned Kool Aid. (Which gives rise to the expression "drink the Kool Aid" to mean "accepting something completely.")

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!
