yesterday marks the 25th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre...this has to be one of the sadder rememberances this month...while i mourned this terrible events memory, i was gladdened by the fact it received more than just passing notice in the news...i hope that the lessons of this terrible day are not lost to the short attention span given current history...perhaps having the public memory refreshed will prevent a similar event in the future, though i doubt it will as people seem so intent on forgetting the lessons history teaches those of us willing to learn...i offer my sincere and heartfelt regrets to the families of those lost there.
