The Amish

Well what's going to happen when we reach the end of fossil fuel energy. It's not that far away, I just wished people could see. You know the Amish people have been laughed at and criticized for their way of life. Well can you answer me this, why do they seem happy, content, and seem so free of our modern day strife. They know how to survive , but it's luxury free. They are the most wholesome clan of people, I ever did see. They demand proper respect from their children and morals are a must. Hard work they are used to, they're friendly and just. How many drug busts have you heard about in their community. And a drive by shooting doesn't happen they drive horses you see. They're more than one step ahead of us in every way. They trust in our Lord, and they still love to pray. Forgive me if I'm wrong for admiring their style. But these people have been survival mode ready for quite a long while. We might ought to start thinking and planning ahead. For the future of mankind is written in letters of red.
