The Amish enjoy a good
modern convenience, every now and then. Most even have refridgerators in their homes. Now, here's the part that really
irks me. Many Amish people exploit a
loophole in their own religious law. Since
cell phones aren't connected to a land line (not directly, at least), they consider it perfectly fine to be able to own such a technological wonder as a
cellular phone.
I live in Pennsylvania. A few times throughout the year, my family travels out to Amish country to get those quality Amish Homemade Goods (tm). I find it somewhat disturbing to drive past acres and acres of farm land, only to see two Amish women conversing on their Motorola Sprint PCS mobile phones.
If you're going to be Amish, don't be a half-assed Amish.
