Soccer, I guess you pigeonholed holed me

So yeah, I am a neo-chassidic environmentalist hippy.  Thank G!d.  Maybe I wasn't clear in my interview, but I have a lot of respect for the tradition and its practices (in fact I spent the day in crown heights learning in a chassidic yeshiva).  That being said, orthodoxy - (everyone believing the exact same thing), has never been the status quo in Jewish history and scares the crap out of me.  I don't really know what the difference is between it and fundamentalism. Orthopraxy (following normative halachah) is something I have a lot of respect for and is quite close to my personal practice. 

If anyone out there has harder questions that you would like to see me struggle with, I think that sounds like fun.  Post them and I will try my best to answer them.
