can the amish fly? no, seriously…are they allowed to? doesn’t that violate some strict amish code against technology and you know…logic?
wtf does an amish person need a passport for? i mean sure, they can take their horse & buggy across the border to canadia or something — because i seriously doubt there would ever be amish in mexico — but can they get on an airplane? i mean…how in the hell do they reconcile that? does the Way O’ Teh Amish really stipulate amish ladies can never cut their hair and dudes can’t shave their nasty beards off, but they can fly? because that’s totally ok?
and if so, what the hell? really, where are the amish allowed to even go?
but more importantly, why do the amish get to fly out of this damn country and i’m stuck here merely facilitating their possibly non-sanctioned travel? why, i ask you, WHY?!
or you know, why in god’s name do i have to freaking look this shit up?
They totally can fly. It’s not that they believe technology is evil, it’s that they want to be set apart. Amish people frequently fly to visit other amish people.
Also. It’s in a NYTIMES article this past week. Look for the one about “pretzel children”, a disease found only in the amish, where retarded children can lick their feet, also “maple syrup urine disease”
