ASHLAND — Twenty-six Amish who refused to pay their fines for violating a law that requires flashing lights on their buggies appeared in court on Friday.

Once there, Ashland Municipal Court Judge John Good ruled out the possibility of jail time for them and instead said he would impose liens on their real estate.

    So we’re both in agreement that driving too fast is irresponsible.

    But you think diving an unlighted buggy at night is fine. And furthermore, if that unlighted buggy gets in an accident with a car, it’s definitely the driver of the car obeying all the laws at fault, never the fault of the buggy driving scofflaw.

    Nope, doesn’t sound like dogmatic culty thinking to me at all.

    BTW: the appeal to authority fallacy is no better than a straw man. Much like traffic laws, they’re all important.
