    But you never see a handicapped Amish person that would need assistance for the rest of their life.
    I wonder why....

    I have known about some..very few. Oh and old folks are taken care of at home by family and friends. They even build a smaller house for the aged parents if possible to live their lives out.

    Around here, their buggy's have license plates on them. So they are paying a portion of the road upkeep, although those horses do wear a sizable groove in the pavement.

    I do know that breeding with cousins isn't the way to go in the long term if there was an aplocolyptic senerio. They have some good ideas but completely fail in other areas.

    Humanity would have a better chance to survive a apocolipse from a random convergence of survivors than what some inbred cult would produce.

    I would hope so.

    I'm hoping in an apocalypse the Amish farm and cook and roughnecks like me keep the city zombies away.

    Must be Indiana? That is a great idea. Why some other states haven't done that, not sure. Most everyone likes blacktop, but not paying for it.

    I looked it up, the buggy license thing. Around 50 bucks in Indiana. Pa is looking into plates for buggys also.
