	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.
