There can be no assumption that today's majority is "right" and the Amish and others like them are "wrong." A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.

  • -- Warren E. Burger 沃伦·E·伯格

不能假设今天的大多数人是“正确的”,而阿米什人和其他类似的人是“错误的”。一种奇怪甚至不稳定但不干涉他人权益的生活方式不应因其不同而受到谴责。
