I was also a big fan of the marvelously trashy Banshee on Cinemax, the threat of Amish gangsters being one of my lifelong concerns.

Amish Gangsters?!  Sold.  The Amish and other traditionalist Christian sects fascinate me.  Back in Ohio, one evening after school I walked into our restaurant to help out and found an Amish family seated!  The Amish eat Chinese food?!?! I immediately ran around the parking lot, looking for their horse and buggy (which I could not find).  Later I figured out that they were just your run of the mill Mennonites, who do drive cars albeit only ones without chrome.

Anyhow, as cool as the Amish are, nothing beats the Shakers and their awesome furniture and folk art.  Really too bad they died out because of the not believing in sex and all.  Then again, maybe that's why their stuff was so awesome.
