    [RANT ON]ARE (They´re still going strong, at least in the UK) a pacifist religious group that helped found the state of Pennsylvania (ad most of the rest of the colonies, William Penn was given Pennsylvania to pay off debts to him by (I think) the British crown). Also the reason for the silly hats all early colonists are pictured wearing. They walked away from political positions (Which they were dominating, cos most of them are NOT hypocrites) when the compromises got too much for them to be comfortable.[RANT OFF]

    Sorry, I was raised Quaker (not born, because you can´t be born a Quaker anymore, they made a policy decision that people should decide their religion themselves, not have it decided by their parents (oops, preaching again...)). Best group of people that you´ll ever meet. Utterly bizzare, but for an organized religion, they´re impressively nice.
