The Mennonites I've known drive neutral-colored cars, not horse and buggy though the most of Amish still don't drive. My former sister-in-law was Mennonite and when my ex and I went to visit her in Pensacola, it was SOOOO boring! No t.v., no radio, but thankfully, they had electricity.

Yea, like the Amish they come in a decent variety. I'm in the dairy industry, so I do get to interact with them from time to time. Some of them are more 'normal' while some of them are even stricter than some of the Amish. Either way you split it, though, they're hardly the most inclusive and forward thinking people. They hold very strong to their beliefs and nonviolence is one of the core beliefs of theirs. So, in that respect, this news isn't surprising at all. What's most surprising is that they have a college to begin with...
