#1 - wrong board. It's the furthest thing from politics. This belongs in the Just Shmooze Board.
#2 - my opinion. When I first saw The Spring Hill Times, I thought it was childish, replete with naivety. But after reading it for a few weeks, I really think that there is something amazing about it. It's almost therapeutic, and it really is super charged with Emunah. It took me a little time to get used to the really unsophisticated writing style, but it doesn't bother me anymore. I find myself printing it out many times before Shabbos for a nice relaxing Shabbosdik read.
