A LARK OF FAITH

THE AMISH STAND THE ULTIMATE TEST OF TOLERANCE…
Imagine a world where homes have no telephones, televisions or refrigerators, where the people dress as plainly as possible, ensuring none of their clothes have any prints or pleats, tailored to attract absolutely no attention to the human contours. No man sports a moustache here as it’s a symbol of male pride; no woman wears any jewellery or cosmetics, even on the wedding day, to keep vanity at bay. Farmers don’t employ any mechanical equipment, not even tractors, so that they don’t consider increasing their lands and thus create an imbalance in society. No Porsche or Lamborghini speeds down the lanes of their towns, instead horse-drawn buggies set the pace of the neighbourhood… Sounds like a fruitless flight of fancy of a retro-dreamer?
