Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,

Where do you stand on mandatory auto-insurance laws? I think they are an abomination and a total usurpation of the free market. They are absurd. If you choose to get behind the wheel, you are assuming an obvious risk for yourself and your passengers. Mandatory insurance laws were a means for state legislators to reward their johns (oops, I meant to say campaign financiers) in the insurance industry. You notice that the wets who drive without insurance in plain sight NEVER get so much as even a slap on the wrist or a tiny fine--once the cops see their matricula consular cards, they are let on their way.

Chaim,

What is your opinion on the conservative curtis sliwa?  He seems to be more pro Israel than many Jews are.  I personally like him, but maybe there's a side of him that I don't know but that you know.

Masha:
Dear Chaim, you have spoken in the past against the corrupt political and economic elites in the United States, Europe, and Israel. And I certainly agree with your reprobation of their often despicable and indefensible behavior. At the same time, you believe in the free market. My question to you is this. What makes you believe that this time around (when you become the Prime Minister of Israel, G-d willing)  things will be different? What if the many small businesses that will mushroom once you implement your policies will eventually become a few big businesses, as it usually happens? What if people owning them will become too powerful and corrupt, caring only about their own economic interests and not the country's interests? This pattern seems to be universal throughout history. People are self-centered and desire to dominate others. In their egotism, they become nearsighted. What would change that?

YESHA:
Dear Chaim,

I hope you are in good health & spirit. I don’t eat green leafy veg. as I dislike it - but try ‘n’ keep healthy, walking 5 days a week for 30 mins. each time. I don’t eat fish as I don’t like eat, but eat carrots, peas, corn, green beans; squash {Corgettes] & peppers. I eat only bananas, oranges, tangerines, Clementines, grapes and apples. I don’t eat the yellow of an egg now but do eat Cakes on Shabbat – 3 pieces, Oneg Shabbot, here I disagree with you – one a week only. Kol Tuv, Be Gebensched.

Chaim, recent developments on this forum led me to question the overly optimistic all inclusive trust you have to all Christian groups to join us.  We should only trust those Christian groups who we know for sure don't try to convert Jews and don't believe in the replacement theology.  We can not trust anyone who actively engages in Missionizing to Jews or encourages missionizing to Jews on this forum or off it, and bring the enemy towards our gate.  We need to make this an official rule on this forum as well.
