[Avodah] anarchy/libertarianism

[Joseph Kaplan]

"Does the Torah require  us to be 
classical liberals a/k/a conservatives?  Yes, but only in the  sense that the 
Torah presupposes a Jewish people who are wise and  intelligent.  However, 
it is not, strictly speaking, assur to be  stupid."

I assume that R' Toby had a smiley face in mind when she wrote this sentence which she neglected to put in.
