On a more upbeat note, a barn was built in a single day in Michigan when hundreds of Amish men arrived in Clare County, Michigan.  The barn they were building/replacing was destroyed in a massive fire in October.  This story illustrates the heart-warming sense of community and workmanship that is so prevelant in Amish culture.
