Fat Stanley and the Lancaster Amish
From: Weapons of Mass Instruction
$0.90
Fat Stanley told me he had to cut school almost every day because he didn’t want to end up like me, working for someone else. He was 13 when he said that to me. An Amish man in Ohio told me they could build a rocket to the moon if they felt like it, but it was a stupid idea.
