Amish

[Mango]

It was tragic in every respect that innocent children and people were killed, no matter if they were Amish or not. However, they shouldn't be romanticized. We have the Amish in northern Indiana, and of course there is a big area in Pennsylvania, both of which I am familiar with. I would characterize them as "peaceful" and certainly hard-working and upright, but sweet? Never.

There are different sects. The ones I have encountered are more liberal, and I have had pleasant encounters with them. The stricter sects probably are not as open to encounters with anyone other other than Amish.

I read a headline the other day referring to an inmate who was tattood (sp?)with "Revenge of (victim's name)" on his forehead. I think some other inmates inked him. I think that should be SOP for sex offenders; as well as a POSTED sign in their yard (if they're free) designating them as such! As for this guy...he did the rest of us a favor by bitin' the bullet. Wish all of em would!
