The subject line is not explained, but is quite interesting. We know the
postulations: "These shoes have shoe--laces; Therefore, ALL shoes have
shoe-laces."
I was guilty of that kind of thinking in part. Grew up in Pgh. where the
trolley poles used wheels for current collectors AND I therefore assumed
that all trolleycars did similarly -- the pictures I had seen of
trolleycars elsewhere sported wheels. I thought the shoe on
model-trolleycar trolleypoles was a cheap and fast way around making a
rotating wheel. Was I ever surprized to find that prototype trolleycars
used Shoes!(:->)
It just so happens that my favorite color is red. This might be a
chicken--n'--egg situation --- is it because of genetics or someother
natural phonomenon that my favorite color is Red --- or is it because I
was a trolleycar fan at a very young age and Pgh. trolleycars were red?
But did God really intend for trolleycars to be Red? I don't know His
Mind, but based on this premise: "The Person makes the clothes, not the
clothes the Person" --- I am going to say: NO!
While I have my preferences in colors, it seems that ALL Trolleycars
Look good -- and it's the Trolleycars that make their colors stand out!
PLEASE___NOTE::::::: This is INTENDED to be extremely light-hearted and
tongue--in--cheek.
