Conservatives would do well to look to the self reliance of the Amish as a means of limiting the power of government.

People whine and cry about the feds taking states rights but in most cases the states sell their rights in return for federal dollars.

The Amish drive on roads financed with tax dollars, using steel-rimmed wheels that tear up asphalt. Having lived in Amish country, I find they are highly selective in their 'independence' from 'English' society.

What sickens me evenn more is how they advertise the 2010 Census. Get your fair share from the GOVERNMENT. It’s sickening. People are so government dependent it’s sickening. The Amish are NOT government dependent.

Amen to that, with a slight modification. ;)
