We recently took a daytrip to Amish country near Lancaster, PA. It’s a great time of year to observe a friendly, humble people who resist the temptations of a modern life. They bear it well, but living in a fishbowl where the English “observe them” as anomalies of society, has to be somewhat nerve wracking. Shunning electricity and other modern conveniences, the Amish have carved a unique niche in a country gone amok with technological advances. When I think of the possibility for catastrophic loss of today’s modern life, one has to wonder if the Amish simplicity will survive.
