On this day thirty years ago another experiment in socialism failed.
I must take exception to your characterization of Jonestown as a "failed" experiment in socialism. Given the nature of socialism, I believe that Jonestown is an exemplar of successful socialism, in that nearly everyone there appears to have submitted voluntarily to self-immolation.

Well I have to argue from Rand's standpoint that human life is the standard of moral values. Thus Jonestown has to put down as another failure.
