If religion is the opiate of the masses, in Kansas, ignorance is the needle.

That explains all the dirty syringes I found in the yard.

I think I heard about this. Probably after I moved here. Luckily we can ignore most of the psychobabble and do our own thing. There are a lot of mennonites in this area and they seem okay...they pretty much keep to themselves. Dakota says this area supports teaching evolution in the schools (non-mennonite ones), but usually the smallest voices aren't heard (small voices from small towns). The Christian radio station, however is the only really strong signal. I have been dieing for some good music. The closest I get (which is not bad) is the local classic rock station, but they seem to play the same stuff all the time.

It has been my experience that Mennonites are extremely hard-working, decent, mind-their-own-business folks who live what they believe. I admire that.

They work their asses off.

A friend of mine is a contractor. When he goes into an area, he checks to see if any of them live around the worksite.
