    The sect around me does not vote as a rule. They use voting as a threat whenever the English try to enact some rule that affects their situation.

    In the past 20 years these restrictions on their “religious freedom” have included the following:

    License plates and road taxes for buggies

    Helmet requirements for children riding bikes on state highways.

    Requiring them to clean up their horse poop

    Requiring their children to receive a bare minimum of education.
