17. Suggesting the machine isn't broken at the SSA

Maybe it's my bizarre way of looking at the world. But I see life as a process much like a block of steel going thru a factory. Asking at the end why you have a Geo vs a Cadillac wasn't the fault of the process to put tires on the car. Nor would just slapping P235/60R15's onto a Geo make it a Caddy. Doesn't mean we don't have to help one or both get thru a snow drift. Just that they are different for a lot of reasons that happened well back in the process. If you want them all to be Caddy's then everyone has to start with a Caddy frame. It's not the fault nor an indication of a problem that the tires being put on the Geo are not identical to the ones being placed on a Caddy.
