I agree 100 percent. The Amish are simply like any other religious sect. You have good, bad, and the majority are right in the middle. I grew up in eastern Knox County and spent a lot of time in Holmes County and learned alot ... and it was amazing how similar to us they are. And of course the various degrees of Amish/Mennonite are also crazy. My personal favorite was always the "Black Car Amish" that had a church out on St. Rte. 241. It looked like an FBI convention when you went by on Sunday morning. Erik,

Amish biz has been on a sharp upward trend for the past couple decades as they have gradually been moving off the farm in Lancaster, North Indy and other settlements. The quality perception issue doesn't hurt--in the Amish Enterprise book that the article mentions, the vast majority of survey respondents ranked Amish products as being of higher quality than similar non-Amish products. The Amish have a good thing going, and they know it. Good for them. And good point on not having the expense of a driver. If they're not going to hire an 'Amish taxi', most Amish contractors I know have to have a non-Amish worker/driver on the payroll as well. That means they're paying social security, which the Amish employees are exempt from. Plus they must lease their own truck either directly or through a third party, or pay for usage of the non-Amish driver's vehicle. Erik Wesner/Amish America Hi Sadie/Toby
