> I just recently saw a programme about the Amish rumspringa (spelling?)

I think this is a clever con - take a nice middle class kid (raised for
years 'on the farm') and dump it in a room full of drugs booze and eager
members of the opposite sex for a bit and I bet 85% (the return rate)
turns out to be the chance they'll get badly burned by the experience of
'freedom'. "Gee take me back to the simple (if slightly dull) life that
I understand and am not afraid of, so I can rationalise my avoidance of
*that* scary nightmare that wasn't half as much fun close up"...

Incidentally were your suited recruited guys Seventh Day Adventists?
There seems to have been a heavy breeding program of late for those
gits... What kills me is the ads I keep getting for miracle healers!
