I see the Amish all over Erie County, even in the city. Last summer the house across the street from where I work even had some work done--the workers were Amish. IMO, the Amish want to remain separate from the rest of society, to be given special privileges because of their religious beliefs; one the other hand, they want to be a part of our society, to use the roads and police that we all pay for. They want it both ways in many cases.
Has anybody seen those electric "fireplaces" the Amish have been selling the past few years. Nothing more than a portable electric heater really, and the Amish are charging a few hundred dollars for them.
I dont know what amish you are talking about but certainly not the amish I know.
They want nothing to do with this corrupt gubafia system on any level.
The right to travel is in fact the right to travel or do we suggest they are all confined to the land they own?
How do you or anyone else expect them to travel but by public common ways? Can we expect them to travel over everyones private property ruining crops and what not? That is the purpose of the common way that everyone can use it.
That and they have to shoe horses that run on blacktop, that hard surface does them no favors but causes more work.
They DO have the right to travel just like you, (which has nothing to do with the commercial enterprise of "driving" for those who know and understand federal law, however they need to understand it is after all a shared common way and safety cannot be ignored.
the real problem here is that society at large shit on these people and all people of religion particulars.
Hell they even have bicycle paths but nothing has been done to respect the first amendment.
