I wonder how much of the problem comes from the word "Law" in the Law of Attraction and those who teach it in a by the numbers this is the way it's done format. It's about as far away from a "law of the universe" as you can get, it's a faith; a new "lie of success" (for the Tony Robbins crowd).
Really the law of attraction comes dangerously close to the old "power of positive thinking", specifically designed to appeal to our "the world revolves around me" nature. It's a remarkably self-centered belief system; the sun once again revolving around a flat earth ruled by one True God.
A focus on LoA causes one to experience the thousands of syncronicities (sp?) that pass through daily life but now they are conciously aware of them, giving the appearance of attracting these events. If it works for you as a belief system the stick with it. But to preach it on par with any of the base rules of physics is irresponsible.
