the depraved Amish

so yesterday I posted a bulletin on my myspace about how i needed people to feel sorry for me and bring me stuff and write my Amish people paper. this is what my friend john wrote me:

I hope you feel better. The most important thing about a good paper is your thesis statement, and I think this intro paragraph would lay the foundation for an excellent paper.

Horse drawn buggies, hand made quilts, and barn raising's are all things synonymous with a group of people commonly referred to as 'The Amish.' However, barns aren't the only things that the so called Amish raise. A culture as rich in sadism and depravity as their freshly churned butter is in flavor. Sex, lies, and betrayal are as much a part of Amish culture, as baseball and apple pie are of the American Dream.



i don't know where he got this from, or if he made it up himself. but i think it is an amazing idea.

Hmmmm...wonder if you'll have a lot of resources to back up the last part of that statement?

I would be interested in reading your paper, though, if that's the focus you take.
