But is the response of the Amish, which I remember as impressive too, be because they are Noble Savages or just because they follow a life which does not glorify war, violence, soldiers, racism and sexualisation of children? Recently we here in Australia had a horrible murder case of a gentle young woman who was killed by a serial killer whist putting flowers on her grandma's grave. Her family's response was as impressive as the Amish. They wanted now to remember their daughter as she was, not as the murderer made her, and they expressed compassion for him. They were noble, but not savages. Nobility is expressed in our actions, not our cultural heritage.
