Of course, there are always those conspiracy buffs who want to make everything some evil conspiracy that the masses are being duped about. I'm sure to some extent a lot of it is true, but they always go too far with their theories and can't support a lot of it with fact.

David Koresh is a little tricky because no one knows who fired the first shot. Whereas with Jim Jones, those guys were never persecuted and they were murderers who murdered a congressman and their own people. Same thing with the Heaven's Gate people. They never even had anybody investigate them as far as I know and they didn't commit suicide out of fear but because of their whacky beliefs. To me it just convinces me more and more of how the human mind can be manipulated by very clever and evil people.
