I gave the book to my brother.....he's was an "anarchist" a freedom educator at one point...a drug dealer for another time in his life....now he has a ex-wife and a 3yr old...i gave him this book thinking "he would love it!!!" and what does he do......after about 6 months go by and i ask "so, did you ever get around to reading that book?" and he says " well, i got through the first hundred pages, and once the guys started butt-fucking i gave up" with a chuckle....

sigh*

sometimes i feel like there is no hope...that even my own brother....a brother who we have done many hallucengenics together.....been out in the desert together..have seen other worlds....has become closed into the borg (and religion since his ex-wife was an intense christian) and is not caring about the environment in every way.....always calls me hippy in a negative tone....I do love him no matter what....this happen months ago and it's still haunting me....

I know there's hope, i know i (we) have to BE THE CHANGE we wish to see in the world.....i think i need to move away from the city in the next few yrs (after i get my M.A in holistic health and education) and just be.....

any other similar stories? rejections of the book?....sounds crazy to me, but i'm sure it's happened many times.....different ways of thinking scares people...it's a shame...
