COMEDY OR TRAGEDY?

If someone wrote a play about a current issue affecting Amish life, what would it be about? What if it were a comedy? It could be about a pacifist group that voted for a war monger. (if you don't laugh you're going to have to cry). Or how about this group that loved their kids so much they lobbied their government for an exemption from child labor laws, so their kids could participate in a dangerous work environment. Nah, that's not funny. What about this group that sizzled with entrepreneurial vitality, they bred and raised sickly house pets, causing an entire movement to organize just to rescue the feeble animals. (cymbal crash) Sh*t, you couldn't make this stuff up if you tried!
