I was in North Carolina, probably enough said for most people, that's a joke! Sadly this is not:

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere we ran across the crazy christmas commune. There were all these buildings filled with Christmas stuffed animals and dolls and carousels, but it was all like a scary horror movie. Moving and singing, clapping symbols, they were all mixed up, laughing and snoring or chattering, the ugly and the pretty. There were also these enormous orange, red,and blue crosses, and hand painted (awkwardly) peices of board with things like "Jesus is the answer" "GOd Can" The trees, and there were well over a dozen, were completely covered in lights. There were enormous snowmen, American Flags, A John Deere tractor completely done in yellow and green. Shanty buildings were everywhere, all covered in lights. They had several projectors going with scenes of Christmas and flags. But the thing, the really really weird things, were these racially slurring pictures of Buckwheat, and little black children using the bathroom and being stung by bees or having parts of them biten by ducks, and weird little slang / dialect phrases under them. Family pictures of men wearing some of the meanest mullets since the 80s were scattered around. There were cameras, similar to the ones they have in department stores, I guess you'd say survelliance, and keep out signs everywhere. And all these white people, church groups, and I'm wanting to scream -- what the hell is wrong with you people -- it was like snow covering a cess pool -- and the snow had started to melt, and you could see the disgusting stuff underneath. I am not on drugs either; it was not a weird halucination. It was by far the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. It rivaled many modern art exhibits in its disturbing effect, but I don't think that's the effect they were going for.

Sarah were you dreaming? That sounds unbelievable. And that's even considering I've never heard more racist comments from people in the entire history of my unhappy existence in America.

Maybe I will stop there on the way home and shoot some video.

No, it wasn't a dream, and things like that make me think I live in one. You know? Anyway, people who don't think shit like that exists anymore should know that it does. What killed me the most was that people, with all of their teeth and looking relatively normal, were walking around talking about how pretty it was! I don't understand that sort of blind stupidity! It makes me so terribly sick and disgusted. Some things hurt your heart. It was in Northern North Carolina, close to the Virginia border, Caswell, Yanceyville, or Casville -- I'm not sure. It was night time when we drove up on it, and it was really in the middle of the nowhere. I would not take anybody I care about there, ever -- "fucking wacko" doesn't even come close to describing it.
