One last post from me for the class and dignity to the Amish

In the burial of their girls. Their spirit promoted peace and denied vengeance. Maybe W and the rightwingers could learn from it. They were a class act.

1. From what I have read about the event and their response to it....

They are a class act...more power to them. Peace not hate is really the answer.

2. Now if only they'd treat animals with the same respect.

Two words. Puppy mills. Shame on the Amish

10. Word.

I would give up my eye teeth if I could close an Amish puppy mill.

8. Thank you

The courage of those young girls to stand up to a killer was so brave. The oldest said "shoot me first".

11. Also their spirit of non-resistance...

while they were put on display and hounded by the thousands of media that descended on them. Everything that was done to them in the past week, beginning with those murders, went against their basic beliefs and must have troubled so many with torn feelings of responding in some way.

A sixth little girl, only six years old, who was removed from life support has quietly been moved to her home to die in peace, away from the glare of the hospital and reporters and cameras.

So sad.

Thanks for a respectful post. I hope they can be comforted.
