    Rastafarian inmate Kendall Gibson, now Ras Talawa Tafari, has endured 10 years in isloation for the right to wear his 5' long Dreadlocks.

    He draws his strength from Jah, he says 'Jah didn't lead I to feel this plight was burden enough to bow'.

    Go brother Tafari, I will play my Bob Marley and Mighty Sparrow albums in your honor today.

    It's kind of ironic that Rastas use "Jah" and are the only other religion (that I know of) that strongly discourage blood transfusion.

    The younger a religion is, the stupider it is. At least religions organized before the age of reason have an excuse.

    Interesting group, tracing their leader Haile Selassie back to Solomon. Go to a Reggae Fest sometime that is one happy group.

    Good question; they seemed to have missed that Haile Selassie, while admittedly an impressive dude, was in fact not a god and in fact died like every other man ;)
