Nate: I'm building a dramatic story on top of a rock-solid foundation of factualness! Francis: There were no flying monkeys at Shiloh, you pinhead. Nate: They're a metaphor.

305buckets: It is well known, because he spelled it out many times, the scarecrow is the farmers, tin woodman industrial workers, cowardly lion small businessmen, Dorothy the middle class, Toto their property, the wizard the politicians, Glinda the philanthropists, the wicked witch the predatory capitalists, so that would make the flying monkeys their blindly following multitudes of dittoheads.
