Avalonians,
I did a title-only search and found nothing about the Wizard of Oz, so I figured that I'd do this post.
Since Gripreaper mentioned that the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz represented the Taxpayer Identification Number, I was inspired to create a thread about the allegorical tale of the Wizard of Oz, of which I've known for a long time.
I have long loved that story. I first watched it when I was a bitty kid in the Sixties on a black-and-white TV ... when I first saw it in color, I was stunned with the sheer beauty of that movie. I always had looked forward to watching it once a year -- I recall that it was aired in February of each year, if I recall correctly.
Then when I saw it with closed-captioning (I'm nearly deaf), that CC function filled in a few holes in the dialogue that I had struggled with for years, although the dialogue of that story was very simple, so I was able to understand it, or at least the gist of it, for years.
But I had no idea of the allegorical aspects of it until the Internet. Thank God for our Internet! I think that this allegory can be applied to just about any country that had any central banking system oppressing the common people in any country, really.
So:
Yellow Brick Road = Gold
Silver Slippers = Silver (It was changed to ruby slippers for the movie)
Oz = Ounces
Wizard = President
Dorthy = Commoner
Scarecrow = Farmer
Tin Man = Industry, and perhaps, the Taxpayer Identification Number.
Good Witches of the North and South = The Good People in America
Wicked Witches of the East and West = The Bloody Bastard Banksters
Toto, the dog = Conspiracy Observers on the Internet
And more, many more.

There are probably lots of versions of interpretations of this allegorical story.
What's your own story in relation to this movie? Does it weave through the thread of your lives? Just about everyone whom I know has had this marvelous movie weave through their lives when they were kids.
And little did we know that it was about gold, silver and the power of the common man.
