RE: The Explosive Growth of the Amish

in #steemitbloggers7 years ago

thank so much @buckaroo. We need to export them to South Africa, wouldn't that be something? they've increased to 251,000 as of 2016, I forgot to put that in my post but they are starting to make a difference but I wish the area's with heavy Amish populations would build buggy paths along main roads because there are so many fatal crashes by idiots driving too fast in those areas, in Ohio it was a common occurrence and very sad. They are a true blessing to this nation which in many ways doesn't deserve them!

Your last statement is a tragic reality. Which is why it's amazing that the Amish communities are growing. I'm sorry to hear that there are fatalities on the roads. That's terrible. You'd think they would drive slower because they know the buggy areas

yes Ma'am the accidents are so unnecessary and so tragic. but drivers are idiots and maybe most of the accidents are caused by people just passing through the areas and not from around there, I don't know. But there are tons of signs posted to drive slow because of the buggies. It kills horses and people, photos I see of them are heart wrenching.
