2. The Amish and credit

   http://amishamerica.typepad.com/amish_america/2008/11/the-amish-and-credit.html

   Freelancer Geoff Williams has written an interesting article on the Amish, credit cards and the credit crunch.  Geoff asked me for an estimate for the number of Amish with credit cards and so I took my best shot at it, basing my figure on the raw numbers I had seen while selling books in five states.  …

   Rocking the Amish Vote

   his son. This struck me as odd because I assumed that Amish folks didn’t vote. I knew most of them didn’t pay Social Security (or receive its benefits), so I figured they didn’t vote either. (As it turns out, some of them do vote. According to Erik Wesner’s Amish America blog, voter turnout among the Amish is typically around 10%. It’s a pretty low number, but it’s 10% higher than I thought it was.) As I approached the registration table, I overheard the poll worker

   DECEPTION

   http://theamishandus.blogspot.com/2008/10/deception.html

   But again, Amish tend to keep their noses far from the political sphere. In truth, most would probably take the 'you guys pick him, we'll pray for him' approach As cousin Vinny  said "don't forget about these guys" not to mention your own words it seems to me that there are some closet political junkies among the Amish out there. I've been listening to interviews with Amish business owners I did in September for an upcoming book, and on more than one occasion our conversational digressions

   THE AMISH AND US

   http://theamishandus.blogspot.com

   the great unfathomable mysteries one might encounter while studying the Amish! You're such a total pile of a shit Eric! If Sen. Clinton were the candidate you wouldn't have any trouble eliciting a response. Come to think of it, you quoted an Amish guy here Who said "Old HIllary...I just can't find myself clapping for anything Hillary does." the 14-year old brother of my friend Abe sort of had a general impression of what was going on in the election and could say that he didn't really like Obama. What he

   Lovin the Amish, (culture war edition)

   puppies, it's okay to care, "just don't care so much that you might actually do something that might help the ones that are being neglected." He loves puppies, but I'm not hearing his plan on how to show some love to the ones that ain't gettin it. This commenter gets more specific just in case you might miss his point. Makes no sense to me. Society gets all up in arms over these "puppy mills" - yet thousands of unborn HUMAN BEINGS are slaughtered every day without a second thought.

   Lame

   http://theamishandus.blogspot.com/2008/10/lame.html

   It's no secret that a puppy breeder is out to make a profit. Which is why it is stupefying when protesters attempt to portray all pup breeders, or at least all Amish or Mennonite ones, as operated in the same manner as the few shoddy ones that have been caught and
