Not a personal attack by any means, here. All I can say is that I have put LOA into practice before, both consciously and subconsciously, without ever attracting any like minded people. Instead, I attract "lazy hippy bums" who leech off of me. Funny, I am no lazy hippy bum myself, so why do I attract them? If anything, I should be attracting intellectual nerds who are into things like The Venus Project. When it comes to men, I attract brain-dead jocks who just want sex. I think there may be some biological imperatives we might be forgetting to recognize here as well as environmental factors?
