    Right on man. What are they supposed to do when the Lion of Judah gives the Rastafari people 500 hectacres and now they have 11? I think it is true that they have freed the shackles but they are still owned by babylon.

    That's just one article. (Thanks for posting it, by the way. :) ) They found a person to complain about the herb, but I have to wonder if they didn't get kind of a slanted story because of who was doing the reporting or something.


    The TTOI and other Rastafarian churches send people to Shashamane and the rest of Ethiopia to vaccinate people and teach people and do other charitable work. I doubt a little weed is really such a big deal.

    When I was a TTOI member, we raised money to send the Nurses of Israel over there and they reported back to us. Did you know that rastas are helping to build and fund the first modern hospital ever in the whole nation of Ethiopia? It's true.

    I have met people from Ethiopia with widely varying views of Haile Sellassie's divinity and character. Some love him, some seem to resent him. I wonder had that reporter just run into different people if he/she would have gotten a different story.
