I'd never heard of or seen amish till I moved here about a year ago. I'd like to live with a family for a month, just to say that I got the experance. For some reason they fascinate me. -V
You know why the Amish fascinate people?
Because they are not spoiled by the world we live in. You, Me and every one in this forum are spoiled.
Even the many Amish who surf the internet on their neighbors computer, and their Amish kids who play X-BOX with the kids up the road.
Don't be fooled too much, it's not all that interesting. I know a fella who works in the city that has to call his Amish neighbor to come down and fix his computer. I had a particular fella, whose last name is Stoltzfus, tell me one time, "Just because I can't own one, does not mean I do not how to use one!"
Serious, the man should start the "Amish Geek-Squad", he was telling me things about computers I'd never heard of before. He also said, "The library is grand place to learn things, people should visit there more often".
That was grandest thing I ever heard, who'da thought.
Oh, and his kids, they love to play them some x-box!
Nice thing about Amish vehicles, ever seen one of them in the shop? No, they just shoot the engine and hook up a new one. Ever heard the Amish complain about gas prices? Only when the black-eyed bean futures rise!
They are not as interesting as we are spoiled by the worlds advances.
That's what makes you fascinated with them, simplicity.
Thanks,
