Family is everything. No question about it. True, they will get on your nerves like nobody’s business. But at the end of the day, it's all love. I WISH that was the theme for today. But, this “Family” is nothing of the sort. This “Family” ruthlessly murdered without remorse or care, all led by a deranged racist who couldn’t deal with rejection. What better way to kick off the cult season then by starting with Charles Manson.
