I recently took advantage of that free-week-of-Hulu+ offer (technology research for the Societé and all) and ran across an old TV favorite, Sledgehammer (it was NOT silly, it was corny). In one episode, he is in the "Witless" Protection Program amongst the "Manynotes."
And that brings me to today's question: what bizarro "belief" fixes the Amish and Mennonites in the 1800s? Now that we're in the 21st century, can't they advance to, say, the 1910s or so - still a century behind, but indoor plumbing, zippers, primitive cars, electricity and such? I mean, why did they pick THAT specific era?
Even we Curmudgeons have the fortitude to face a future that includes pajama pants in public, revoltingly long fingernails, "reality" TV shows, idiots texting while driving, etc. I think the "Manynotes" can handle indoor plumbing.
