Amish Charter

I always thought that the government and politics had somewhat of a hold of its population, but after reading the essay by John A. Hostetler The Amish Charter I realize how we are nowhere even close to the discipline they retain. I could not imagine basing my enitre life on relgious practices. These people enjoy being the outsiders. They are absolutely content with living a life with no television, radio, automobiles or any form of entertainment. I know that I cannot servive a day without my cell phone and chances are not one of the people living in an Amish community have one. They cannot enjoy any of the things we enjoy everyday of our lives. NO colors, NO luxury items, and basically seems to me like NO fun.
