This Zimbabwe Is Great!

It's been pointed out to me that I've been focusing a little too much on modern African history at the expense of the distant past. Fine - point taken! Join me as we hop into the rusty old time machine and visit the ruins of Great Zimbabwe. Wouldn't you know it? - Europeans are screwing around with Africa there too! They aren't yet around in the 11th century but they'll be sure to mess it up later when they will totally misinterpret the history of the place and claim that white people built it!

I love the Rastas, mon! I've even done what I can to learn Jamaican as a second language. I own and play reggae albums not only by Bob Marley, Burning Spear, and Peter Tosh, but also by Willie Nelson and Sinead O'Connor ( they have reggae albums, look it up! ) So it was indeed a pleasure to talk about "Jah" himself: Emperor Haile Selassie, the Lion of Judah, although someone will have to explain to me how God can lose to Mussolini...
