The American Experience: The Amish

I have to tell you a little story.There was a tour bus.Amish man got on and they asked him,

"What's the difference between you and us?"

"Well",he said,"How many of you have television?"

All the hands went up.

He said,"How many of you,if you have a family,think you'd bebetter off without television?"

Practically all the hands went up.

He said,"How many of you are going to go home and get rid of it?"

No hands went up.

He said,"That's the difference between you and the Amish.Because we will do it.If it's bad for the family,we will not have it."
