Well, I tried to find three of them that would give him a bit of a selection of
viewpoints....
It's interesting- part of the credo of the church I was raised in was that Anabaptists
were evil, terrible folk, and I grew up believing that, though I wouldn't have known
what an Anabaptist was if he'd kicked me in the @$$. Of course, the same church included
hypnotism and mesmerism as evils in the same breath....
Other half of my ancestry is another brand of Plain Folk, the Quakers.
And of course, there's the part that's Native American.
Just goes to show, I'm an All American mutt- and I'm willing to bet I get along with
Amish folk because I'm just as hard-headed as they are ;-)
