What are their religious principles? Why can't they drive cars, etc. ?
Can someone please give me the gist of it.
Amish people all have beards.
Even the women.

They are supposed to live separate from the world. Technology is evaluated and adopted on their own terms. This usually results in stuff like using buttons instead of zippers on their flys.

Yeah, all the Amish I know wear Levi's 501s.
Seriously, all this was covered in a recent thread.
