He will show examples
of this change and give his opinion on what it is
that makes something not only a piece of Shaker furniture
but an exciting piece of Shaker furniture.


Kind of a contradiction of terms, idn't it?


Those Shakers are an exciting group!

To the Amish... G

Not true. The Amish have sex. ;-)


... and that, boys and girls, is why there are still Amish
among
us
while there are no longer any Shakers.

Yeah, but with all that inbreeding, it's a question of quality,
not
quantity.

Huh? In what way do you consider the Amish to lack "quality"?

What part of "inbreeding" did you not understand?

So are they bleeders, do they commonly have two heads, in what way
does this "inbreeding" manifest itself so as to constitute a lack
of
"quality"?

The question is not whether they are inbred or what inbreeding means,
it is how this is manifested among them in a way that can be
reasonably percieved as lack of "quality", and so far you have come up
with absolutely nothing.

Apparently you have comprehended absolutely nothing. Click on the link, your
answer is in the bulleted list under the heading "Results of Inbreeding".
