I didn't know that about the Amish. I'm not sure the wife would go for those dresses, but I think I could pull off the hat and suspenders gig just fine.
As with the rest of socialism: Programs so good, they are mandatory and society without them would "result in a nightmare". I hate that this mess is our reality to live in, but I think we all agree that we should continue to fight the cancer's "progression" with all available means, the first of which, I argue, must be intellectual. Kind of a "give them an inch, and they'll take a mile" sort of thing. Yes, socialists are just like overgrown toddlers.
