Amish hooligans!

I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of reading about Amish hooligans raising heck and being rowdy!

Their latest affront to public decency was when a couple of Amish “youths” (which is police code for gang-bangers) were ticketed in Leon, N.Y., for having beer in their horse-drawn buggy.


Like I'm surprised. If the cops had looked a little further, they probably would have found a Penthouse magazine and a pack of Marlboros.

Isn’t it about time we stopped thinking of the Amish as cuddly cultural throwbacks and realize them for the menace they are?

Don’t even get me started on the “solid waste” problem caused by their horses or the wild late-afternoon buggy races. And did you know they can put an eye out with one of those buggy whips?

It’s time to lay down the law to the Amish: Either get with the program and start acting like normal Americans, or go back where you came from.

Frankly, if you shipped the whole lot of ’em back to Amland, I wouldn’t shed a tear.

I don't know the source, but it's worth repeating:

Okay, there should be a "BANG!" in the middle of the clop-clops.

The University of Iowa Medical Center has a "parking area" designated for the Amish buggies. And on a related note, the horses are skinny and barely bigger than a Shetland pony. They haul out the big draft horses for planting and harvesting corn.

An Amish buggy is, relative to most modes of transportation through history, quite advanced technologically. I wonder if chariots would be okay.
