Lol. The Amish here use a gas powered generator which powers an electric compressor for air tools. I tried talking them into just plugging into my house to save gas, but they wouldn't have it. Nothing I said got through to them that it's no different.

That shirt is classic. I've been to enough gun auctions and shows in the York/Lancaster area and seen more than a few Amish toting ARs. At first it's an eye-opener. Later you just get used to it. I like that everyone in PA treats black rifles like they should: just another tool for a job.

“The wire” is seen as the pathway of the devil, thus the use of animal-driven power, the use of generators and even cell phones, which have the blessing of the elders because there is no physical wire connected to the world. |

It all depends on the local elders where they draw the line. I know Amish that can use Diesel to power compressors but not Gas, and some that use cell phones.

Though not at all applicable, I'd like one position to be 'schtumpig'
