Gee, you know I really hope so, but I'm visiting Sedona, Arizona this thanksgiving. The place is known for its fundamentalism as well as the prevalence of wacky new age crap-- there is literally a church, spiritual healing clinic, or palm-reader on every block. The fact that the market around here is large enough to make all these places lucrative really scares and disheartens me.
