Is that the group of people you want to live with or is it another group?

It's a nice video and I just saw it the other day. The old guy is great.

Yes, these people. The hotel I stayed in last trip was right across the street from that pizza place.

Every time I see the word Orangutan I read it as organtuan. It's the only word that dyslexics me up.

The Amish are some of the most wonderful people on Earth. They're amazing and I really respect them.

They marry young, have large families and work together in a profoundly communitarian manner. Not that they really care but they're also really wealthy in a healthy way that most Americans can only dream of. Many of them are masters of one or two professions by the time they're in their mid-20s'.

Also as a strong believer in ethnic homogeneity they are a very kin based society -- inb4 some cynic points out 'what about muh inbreeding' yes they've had some problems in the past but have largely sorted that out now.

Wonderful people who have amazingly managed to sidestep without stong coercion -- Amish are indeed free to leave and sometimes do -- the horrors of modernity. May they live long and prosper.
