Louv Belouved,

I should be doing my homework but I figured I would take this opportunity to respond to your last letter.  Your computer seems to have drawn out all kinds of hostile  old brothers and sisters.  It looks like they're keeping up with the age of technology and communications through the Inter-Net.  I see that brother Gary gave you a chance and you blew it (who's the "Fruitcake" here?).  Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think you were asking him or anyone else for a chance for anything.  I don't necessarily agree with everything you say either but you don't need someone to tell you how to interpret what you've seen through your own experiences.  Goud didn't give you a brain to let someone else think for you, our differences in processing information is what makes us all unique.  I like to look at it like, which one of your fingers are most important to you?  All of them are equally important to make a full hand, although they all have their differences.  For instance, I've observed, in here, that when there's a fight or something everyone (and I'm talking quite a few people here) has a different account of the event.  It's the same way with anything in life, people see things through their own eyes and unique information processing.  Who's right?  Well a wise person would try to see things through everyone's eyes, taking something from all and making his judgment from each.  Of course when people are able to channel those differences together to work as one (like a hand) that's when they're capable of achieving great things, but they have to be willing to look into other people's concepts and ways of seeing things.
    It struck me as being kind of funny that "Piper, Gary" only gave you one chance when the brothers gave him a few chances (if I remember right it was two times that he had to cut off his "Goud Head" because of some bodyism that he ran off to keep up) to come back.  I guess the mercy that was extended to him he couldn't find it within his heart to extend the same mercy to his brother?  Are these the same people who claim they have some special spirit from the Almighty?  I looked up the definition of hippie in the dictionary (since he called you a "Hippie Fuck") and from what the people who invented the word say, it means "Adopting an unconventional style of dress, rejecting conventional ideas and organized society, and often using hallucinogenic drugs".  Really all the brothers, including "Piper, Gary", could be classified as one of those.   Ganja is considered a hallucinogenic.
    As far as Niah Keith goes, I grew up in his house among his children (if these pompous brothers can remember, I was the oldest white child amongst the brothers so I saw things from an angle that they never could) so they can't tell me shit about Niah.  Obviously, he was a smart man with a powerful spirit.  I mean he got all these educated white people to do everything he said (to even look at him as Goud) without questioning anything.  But Niah was a man who had his faults like the rest of us, no man is perfect.  One Louv, Brian
