Amish may have won battle over hated orange triangles
3/28/2012A so-called "Buggy Bill" has been passed by Kentucky's House of Representatives, which would allow the Amish to swap the hated -- but mandatory -- orange triangles on the back of their horse-drawn buggies for strips of reflective tape.

According to the AP, "the triangle represents the Trinity which they are prohibited from displaying," but to people with SUV-style horsepower, it's a matter of protecting both kinds of drivers. "At the heart of the issue," WebProNews writes, "is whether the government should put religious freedoms above public safety."
