The shame of it is that the Amish will never find a place they can be themselves. Where they can live their life as they see fit.
One time out at the farm we went to an Amish family's house because these flowers were opening up, some kind of wierd flowers but it only happens once a year. It's not like they considered it a holiday, but a bit of an event, as friends we were invited. So they invited us. They were among the most friendly people I ever met. For purposes of anonymity the F family had owned the farm for generations, perhaps more than I know. Well there was F road and these Amish either leased or bought some land and built houses, cabins in some cases. This was long ago. I don't know exactly who did it but someone built F road. They got a road named after them !
But that doesn't really matter because the maintainence on a dirt road is very little. There was still irrigation. In this state if you live out in the stix you need to basically build a bridge across the ditch to have a driveway. I am sure it is the same elsewhere.
The Amish are separartists, they want no part of modern society, so now that you bring it up, why aren't they labelled s a hate group like the Odinists ?
T
They are not separatists.
Look at all the places you can buy Amish-made goods, especially furniture.
Look in your grocery store and you're likely to find Amish cheese and other products.
How often have you seen van loads of Amish carpenters being driven to new home construction sites?
They just have certain beliefs about modern ways.
