As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Aboriginal and Tribal Nation News,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
My Commentary: ❤
The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an ex-acquaintance…
Brian K.: The Anti-Vaccine Movement: A Terrible Track Record:

“As it turns out, the anti-vaccinationists are remarkably consistent. Time and time again, they are shown to be wrong. I’m not sure how many times a group needs to be wrong before people stop seeing them as credible. Perhaps people need to be reminded of how many times this group has been wrong?”
Genaire: I can’t say for certain how wrong or right they are, I can say for certain that most medicine’s side effects are far worse then the illness they have been created to treat. I would think the same would apply to vaccinations. I would also ask myself why would I want to get vaccinated when my body’s own immune system can do the same thing in most cases without the side effects.
The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Rebekah P…
Rebekah P.: Like the part where Talib goes from referencing ‘Clan of the CaveBear’ – ‘The Cable Guy’ 🙂
Soon the New Day – Talib Kweli ft. Norah Jones:

Rayn: “Shorty paint her face like a clown, but can’t take away the frown!” Ha! Word!
Rebekah P.: Thought you’d appreciate the metaphors, yo! They always play Norah J on my Fiona Apple station 🙂
Rayn: Skillz!

Rebekah P.: Enjoy!
MF Doom – Elder Blossoms ( HD VJ Mix ):

Rayn: Cool video. 🙂
Rebekah P.: I love this whole LP, this track is beautiful! Even the elders can appreciate Elder Blossoms, this is Hip-Hop baby! I recommend mass-consumption of mass-produced mess for the masses while watching this vid 🙂
The following correspondence originally took place here, on the Facebook wall of Ms. Lauryn Hill…
“Taxation is theft”
Marybett M.: So you’re PROUD to say you didn’t pay taxes cuz your ancestors were slaves. Hmmmm my ancestors died trying to free yours but I sure don’t hear “thank you”. More over if you did any kind of real research you would realize iSLAM is the “original slave trader.”
Yet today both our ancestors are dead. I DO THE NEXT RIGHT THING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DRIVE OVER BRIDGES, FUND YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT……
I don’t sit down on a pity pot and WHINE!
JS
Rayn: You are simply regurgitating DISINFORMATION that is being circulated by the mainstream media monopoly for the purposes of discrediting Ms. Hill, and emotionally riling up those who aren’t interested in doing their own research about the situation! Lauryn Hill stated EXACTLY why she withheld paying taxes on her very own Tumblr page, if you are really interested:

Marybett M.: Regurgitating disinformation. Yes I do understand that cycle. You give mainstream a topic especially on someone who they don’t like their views on and it will be recycled refurgitation.
However I did come across this quote. “She explained that she hasn’t paid taxes since she withdrew from society to guarantee the safety and well-being of herself and her family.”
If it’s true, I can appreciate the intent to withdraw from society because of it’s moral corruption, I GET THAT AND SO DO MANY OTHERS. However, it still stands that we have to “render to ceasar…”
Personally, if she’s that principled and has the courage to withstand what lamestream may say, she could certainly earn doing tours. There are many that support that same view especially if there’s any “spirituality” in that as well.
It’s hard to stand up to the system but you still have to do the next right thing.
