100% correct, Oh and Annie, remember they're not VAXXED either...& bodies aren't piling up in their communities.

And having grown up in a rural, depleted (industrially), outpost of natural wonder and witnessed large populations with divisive-greed silently pontificate, I am reminded of a recent coast past one of these Amish schools in my area. Just as you described. Kids walking. Kids carrying their 'igloo' lunch containers, holding hands as leathered feet tapped the road surface. Waves, as I passed slowly. Then, an elder exiting the local school house (as I describe) to watch some children pick up fallen apples, and place them into a bucket, adjacent to the entry door along the canopied, open, posted, porch. Not in uniform; only their clothing and coverings. Simple. Effective. Wise. All this predicated from my own return visit to an Amish cobbler, to show him a replacement glue that I needed to use to make a repair to one' of his repairs. My helping hand, guiding him towards a solution that I knew he appreciated. BTW, his repair on the other boot is holding, and so is mine.
