 Kool-Aid Drinker   I'm including this definition, even
            though this phrase is not an acronym, because
            I got an email from someone asking me 
            what is a Kool-Aid drinker. As best as I can
            determine, it is a person who has been totally
            deceived by someone or something; or who blindly
            and without question adheres to the beliefs of, 
            or follows, some person, dogma, political idea,
            etc. I notice that this term often seems to appear
            on forums... and especially on political forums.
            The origin of this term, if I understand it correctly, 
            derives from the 1978 Jonestown, Guyana, mass suicide,
            where Jim Jones instructed his followers to
            commit suicide by drinking a Kool-Aid type drink
            (it was not really Kool-Aid, but Flavor-Aid) laced 
            with cyanide.  Most of them did so, and as a result
            over nine hundred people died.
