Why do you people insist on enslaving Lauryn Hill, by buying her records? Now, thanks to you, she is going to prison for not paying taxes on the 50 million units she sold, and if that is not slavery, we do not know what is.

3. Ms. Hill -- this is not helping.
Will the teabaggers&#039; heads explode when they realize that they agree with a blah elite celebrity?
Lauren Hill strikes me as an unlikely and unwelcome spokesminority.
She has certainly been miseducated.
Also: doesn&#039;t she know it is bad form to use the passive voice when talking about yourself?
