I'm all for letting people do what they want but I'm with Analog on this. If everyone went the way of the Amish we'd still be thinking the world is flat.

Since when is a VW microbus shunning technology?
When a hippie commune lasts for several generations let me know, but its a poor anology on many levels.
Now I dont know what the Amish teach about science, perhaps they do teach the world is flat (though I doubt it), but I'm trying to think how knowing the world is mostly round made me a better person and I can't come up with any way it did.
Respect doesn't require agreement.
