That's a great question really, seems most of my family just kinda laugh at the concept. My friends generally seem a little more open to it, but then when I try and actually tell them anything about it or how it works, they want to change the subject. I don't know, I guess I eventually just got to the point that my view was "screw it, they don't know what they are missing". I don't really worry about their opinions on LDs anymore. Not sure how I would react if one of them suddenly was actually interested in learning and was serious about it.
