Finger straps on gloves Dec 14, 2016 18:31:01 GMT -8

Today while riding the chair lift while skiing with a couple of buddies, we all noticed that our gloves had horizontal strips of fabric sewn across the backside of a finger or two. We have no idea what they are for other than conveniently getting caught in tree branches. Anyone care to enlighten us? We're clueless.

Thanks.

In other words: if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually destroyed by the intolerant. Tolerating bigotry allows bigotry to spread. Exclusion isn't always a dirty word. Tell your local Nazi to F off today.
