I'm going to be honest; I am probably very ignorant on the subject of today's
I C's. My friend that is in the Peacenik commune; I asked her about the
stories of dope and group sex, and junk; she told me they were all too old
anymore (she's at least ten years older than me). She said some communes
still have that sort of attitude and some do not.

What would be the difference in Abundant dawn as opposed to the airstream
community? How long are you allowed to stay?
