    Greetings all! I was browsing the web today and just happened to stumble upon a gem. Mortimo Planno, one of the oldest and most respected Rastafarians alive, wrote a book of reasonings in the 60s called The Earth Most Strangest Man: The Rastafarian. Unfortunately this book wasn't published but is now available from the Research Institute for the Study of Man.

    For those of you who do not know who Mortimo Planno was one of the first Rastafarians, professing his faith as early as 1939. He became a fervent disciple and preacher for the faith, and became one of the leading authorities on the subject. It was Planno that Bob Marley sought out for instruction after hearing Rita's tale of His Majesty's stigmata in the Jamaican parade. Planno was party to the first delegation of Rastafarian and other Pan-African delegates to Ethiopia in 1961 where he met Haile Selassie, and was one of the few rasta elders invited to attend a private state dinner with Selassie when he visited Jamaica in 1966.

    Anyone seriously or curiously interested in Rastafari should read what he has to say. Let's reason here!
