I would make fun of the Amish, but they would never read it. I find the Orthodox Jews who try and find loopholes in the Torah quite entertaining. Nothing beats coming up with complicated devices just so you can work seven days a week. I would personally just take Saturday and laze around. I, for one, have no beef with the Amish. For the most part, they tend to keep their lunacy to themselves. Also, they have a penchant for practicing even the nice parts of what they preach, (which they don't go around doing all that often). The line in Weird Al's "Amish Paradise" about "Ain't ever punched a tourist even if he deserved it" is, generally, not an exaggeration. |

And the thing about electricity in the barns isn't really their idea. That comes from the government. It's for pasteurizing the milk or something like that. Or cheese. Something about dairy. Any ranchers out there would be able to better tell you.

I like the Amish over the Born Agains any day.

and correct me if I'm wrong, but the Amish have a tradition where the rules are relaxed a bit during the teenage years and the kids are allowed to experiment with the outside world a bit before they have to decide whether to get baptized and become an official member of the Amish faith. Least that's what Wikipedia told me.

Yeah, they do. <insert joke about Amish gone wild here> I remember hearing a few years ago about one Amish lad who ended up working as a meth dealer during his "rumpspringa" (I think that's the word.) So apparently, there have been Amish going wild. |
