OJ's acquittal should _restore_ faith in the justice system. The cops behaved incompetently and in a racist manner, and the physical evidence was not properly safeguarded. The state failed to prove its case, and the jury told it so. Actual guilt or innocence is peripheral to the outcome of a criminal trial, by design.

Are there statistics on how many kids go back to the Amish life after experiencing Rumspringa? BTW, a former colleague told an entertaining story about how he had a three-way with two Amish girls on Rumspringa back in Ohio in the 1980s or early 1990s, but I have no way of determining the story's veracity.

The Amish ARE fundamentalist christians, and their level of indoctrination and shelter from the secular word surpasses that of even the fundie homeschoolers. Amish don't even allow their children and education beyond the 8th grade. They may have a year or two to live outside their communities, but they are functionally illiterate and so heavily indoctrinated with the fear of hell and punishment, that even those who don't go back into the fold, are still 'believers' more or less.

Right on jazzbumpa. Troof.

Also I'd add that the reason we can't bring them for trial in the states, is because, I mean shit, haven't you SEEN the movies? If you bring the bad ass guy out of the special prison, and surround him with ordinary keystone kops, they'll escape and run rampage for SURE. I mean, as a move it's almost as stupid as splitting up to investigate when the psycho gets loose, and slowly opening the creeky door to peer through, and only slightly better than saying "I don't…. need you guys! Ill make it on my own!". Man, EVERYBODY knows what happens next dude.

For a subculture which violently eschews Communism or anything that reminds them thereof, it's odd that fundamentalists, as a group, have forgotten the refrain from the Cold War days that people were trying to get out of the Soviet Union, but trying to get into the United States, therefore our way of life was superior. People are clearly trying to get out of the fundamentalism subculture, and trying to get into the wider world. To crow for years that the bad guys fence their people in, then to do the same yourself without noticing the hypocrisy... it's staggering, but then again, self-awareness is not a core fundamentalist virtue.

The Amish are assholes. They operate the cruelest, most disgusting puppy mills in the country. Fuck the Amish.
