re: The real meaning of the Wizard of Oz…

Buddy Epson had the role of Tin Man but he inhaled aluminum dust from the costume and got sick as a dog. He took the Beverly Hillbilly spot thinking it would be a little money for a one year run. Boy was he surprised.

I mean…that is an interesting alignment of terminology. My question is, who actually put that together, and how high were they?

It’s nothing other than a basic Marxist interpretation. No drugs required, as all Marxist interpretations, as with feminist interpretations, are basically the same

I love when y’all let your hair down

Looks pretty cool when you write it down don't it? I can't dispute it or prove it's true so I give up. Who wrote this and what was their drug of choice?

The concept of “taxpayer identification number” did not enter the lexicon until 1936.

Yep. I made the same point earlier. Since then, I searched it. Although SSNs were initiated in 1936, the TIN association did not occur until 1962.

Most of these article claiming with great confidence what the true meaning of the Wizard of Oz was about are pure BS or speculation. Although published in 1900, many of L. Frank Baums creations were from his experiences from 1870 - 1890. He had a wild, childlike imagination, and up to his death insisted all of his books were for children. Sure, they guy had political beliefs, but they just were not a large part of his stories. He did, however, have this unusually strident attitude towards native Americans. He and his wife moved to the Dakota Territory in 1880, and twice he published articles calling for he total destruction of all native Americans. I wonder if he fashioned the idea of the evil flying monkeys on native Americans? Who knows...
