Mr. Teitz: Mr Kramer took the words right out of my mouth! (except I don't
think it was the Maharsha who disagreed).

Please Elli (could I call you that), that logic is so obviously bad.
Since when don't you attempt a Mitzva because you're scared that you might
not do it right and then get a sin.(NO, it's not a mitzva habah meen ha'avaira).
Second of all, who says you're going to be punished? If I can't fulfill a Mitzva
because it is impossible to do (ie. 100 years ago to fulfill laws of Shemita
because have to eat something ), why would I punished, have you never heard
of Sakonot Nefoshot?
Now, if you're going to say, 'then why would I live there if there is Sakanot
Nefashot?' - I'll just tell you that there isn't!

Now tell me, *how in the world could i get Korait!!* . If you say ' because
you're transgressing the laws of Shemita', I'll reply 'why the h-ll do you 
think i was transgressing the laws of shemita?!? Because I couldn't!'
Since I couldn't I am not Ovair on anything.
