I was driving through the parking lot of the local grocery store on the way to lunch, and I noticed a nice little Mennonite family driving a brand new Chevy Suburban! I remember when they used to ride in a horse drawn carriage around here. Signs of the times? For background:

He's not a practicing Mennonite. His parents are, though. They live in Pennsylvania.

I wanted to say something really disgustingly anti-christian, mocking the fact that progress and a religion such as Christianity could not possibly correlate on the same terms, but from reading up on them, they sound like a good group of people who are far more concerned with human moral duty than most other sects claim to be. Also, they don't seem to be outspoken about stupid shit, so that's a plus.

+1. They, as a group, have a well-established history in our small, rural area. They are very moral, and they have one of the best work ethics I have ever seen. In addition, they are simply wonderful carpenters. Many make their living building storage buildings, barns, gazebos, etc.

I just found it a little amusing to see these two little women in this gigantic SUV. Horseless carriage FTW?
