There\u2019s a kerfuffle in Wisconsin over threatened application of The Law to the Amish.<\/p>\n

Up to now, they\u2019ve successfully dodged Uncle \u2013\u00a0been exempted on religious grounds from a great many busybody-isms, including laws requiring the presence and use of seat belts and child safety seats in all motor vehicles.<\/p>\n

Their horse-drawn buggies lack motors, of course \u2013 as well as seatbelts and child seats.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t have airbags or backup cameras or tire pressure monitors, either. The Amish don\u2019t believe such things are necessary and therefore do without.<\/p>\n

They also believe it\u2019s their decision, their business \u2013 and just want to go about their business, leave others alone and be left alone in turn. After all, they\u2019re not harming anyone else. And if they harm themselves, the Amish take care of themselves.<\/p>\n

It seems reasonable enough.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t wash for the rest of us, though.<\/p>\n

Time to buy old US gold coins<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Why should it work for the Amish?<\/p>\n

Such is the entirely logical argument of a busybody with a gun \u2013 i.e., a government worker \u2013 by the name of Bill Winch. He is a member of the Wisconsin Rapids Board of Supervisors and doesn\u2019t think the Amish ought to be exempted from\u00a0anything<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 including\u00a0other<\/em>\u00a0laws requiring driver\u2019s licenses and mandatory insurance.<\/p>\n

He has\u00a0proposed a new law<\/a>\u00a0precisely to that effect.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

Winch goes further. The buggies of the Amish should also\u00a0be fitted with automotive safety glass, windshield and side glass \u2013 no matter what it costs the Amish and how impractical it is to install such things in a horse-drawn buggy.
