A new social network for positive messages
- A new social network for positive messages only kicked me out after one post. They thought this wasn't positive: "I like how everything is orange here ... very Jim Jones-esque."
- I queried. They told me that the message had been rejected on grounds of accuracy as the flavour of the drink at Jonestown was in dispute. Once resolved, the issue of positivity
- was pretty much sunk in a big fetid morass of crappy despair. Jonestown was a lot of things but it sure as hell wasn't no Candyland. I took the rejected message and thought of a
- reply that they would never forget. I wrote "she lives next door to the man that lives along the river with his sister." Their frustration might now match my despair. Jonestown had
- changed everything - who could keep living normally after witnessing a horror on that scale? I couldn't shake the thought that, if only I had
- taken his flute to begin with, he would not have misled all those poor children. But now the horror of it all was too much too live with. So I
- did the same thing but played the tone louder. Sound came out of the flute, it was so beautiful that people eyes are on us.
- Literally. The music is so beautiful that the bystanders can't handle it, and violently rip their eyeballs out of their sockets, throwing them at us.
- Well, down on the floor at our feet really. It was impossible to avoid stepping on them, and when we did, they made a sickening sound as they splattered. The beautiful music wasn't
- appropriate accompaniment to the atrocities we were inflicting. But still we danced, our curls bobbing, the applause of the audience drowning out the death beneath our soles.
