I'm in a quandary.
I'm a big proponent of the melting pot and that everyone who lives here should be an American or get the heck out.
What about the Amish? They are most certainly not Americans, are they?
I think the Amish are American enough. Notice that this sets the bar damn low for our Mexican friends.
While the Amish are not participating in, or members of, the American culture; they exhibit a trait that makes me think we should let them stay when others, who are not participating in or member of our culture, should leave.
Self reliance. Self sufficiency. They are not demanding more from the pot than they are contributing.
I have often wondered, given the Amish opposition to all things military, if they object to a military defending them from the aggression of others.
