Howell legally changed his name to David Koresh on May 15, 1990.

  • It's amazing day in the history of Anglo thinking processes and abuses to women and children
  • This is truly a sad day.  One should remember the children and women that died innocently in that building.  Charismatic, Anglo, and filled with self grandizement have similarities with leaders and their friends. 

     

    Seeing the trail of dust, one should recognize similarities.
