It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

I literally can hardly slip my skinny fingers between the inside of the tire and the strut coil spring.  =(

The trouble is what kind of damage happens when they don't quite fit  =(

Plan is to sell/trade this thing for some sort of midsize AWD/4wd.

Try this.  It was a picture of the "link cable tire chain".  That's a class "s" chain.  There's also an 'ultra-low' profile chain set available that's supposed to be even thinner.

Well, I'm really glad I got those tires on.  The roads were pretty rough, cars off in the ditch all over the place.  I didn't have a lick of trouble.

Driving to church was kind of slippery yesterday.  When I got home, I put the weights (four 80+ pound blocks of concrete) in the back of my truck.  It made all the difference in the world -- the roads were actually worse this morning, but I had no trouble getting to work.
