This whole thing is just totally crazy. I know others have clipped stories on this. Lancaster is not far from me and with other Amish and Mennonites in my community and knowing what a kind and respectable peopel they are, it just seems our society has gone completly insane.
I guess this qoute from the article makes one think.
"The grave is hand dug in an Amish church district cemetery. There will be only a simple tombstone to mark the spot, much like all the other tombstones in the cemetery -- in death as in life, we are all equal and do not elevate one person above another."
