We have to make sure that they have the right ri worship in a manner that they choose, BUT...we do not have to allow that right of religious freedom to interfere with laws and customs of our municipalities, states, and fed. The law says ya gotta use an SMV sign...USE ONE! ...or don't use the road. What is annoying here is that they don't even pay any road use tax...ya suppose those horse shoes do any pavement damage? I am a farm boy so not particularly disgusted by animal waste, but nothing more annoying than driving through a pile of fresh horse schnit after ya just washed the truck...I am required by law to clean up my dog schnit when I walk her in certain areas, why shouldn't they be reqiored to stop and clean up their horsey poop? Blah, blah blah on their right to the road while it's a privilege for us to drive...obviously it's a privilege for them too that can be lost by not following V&T laws. What people don't understand about the Amish is that they can vote to change whatever rule they want (Church Elders can anyway) and they use the system: They can ride in vehicles but not own ant, they can hire work done by rubber tired equipment, and they can use phones and other devices, just not their own. They also like to make their own church driven laws and punishments and ignore "English Laws" (any goverment law) and here is a good example of one: Get caught using alcohol and face excommunication from the church for one year.

My buddy had an Amish family buy the farm next to his in Northern Pa. a few years back; soon after they moved in they knocked on his door and asked to use his phone, he let them, the frequency increased and never once did they take off their boots prior to tracking in. Within 2-3 months they would just walk into the house to use the phone uninvited...never knock and never offered to pay a cent despite long distance calls.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
