Dorothy's Ruby Red glass of grapefruit juice...it will keep the blood sugar low. It's in Time(TM) magazine.

Wizard of Oz( the movie and play ) is a metaphor about a single semi-illiterate rural girl who was raised without a father and who idealises every potential husband as a toy male soldier doll who can come right off the shelf and be just everything she could ever expect in that idealised missing male figure in her life. He is objectified as a missing man in the same way a person would objectify a missing loaf of bread. You only know what bread would taste like while watching cooking shows or soap operas. She anticipates the day when she could uh cut and uh slice it. The other three characters represent the manner in which such a young woman would criticise a real, blood running in the veins, man as she never had to witness the frailty and humanity of a real man in life. He would have to tell her that he is "only human and flesh blood; a man" when explaining that she isn't perfect either. No one is perfect. It's a good realisation in one's self discovery. One potential husband is criticised as having no brain, the other is criticised as lacking courage and the third husband is criticised as lacking heart or sufficient emotions. She says he is a like tin man and does not show sufficient care. She will ask every day if he cares. "...Do you care?", she will ask. Yes; he cares and invited you to go to seminary college with him so you can understand how things work in the world. The journey to see the wizard is really a journey to see a baptist seminary college director who lectures in world history and cultures in addition to the gospel since respecting cultures is important. There is neither Jew nor Greek; remember so why tell anyone to take off their grass skirt( unless he is another character in the story about to become that young girl's husband)? No human is a stuffed lion, a toy scarecrow or a toy tin man. They are human and in need of the same understanding that you desire when you cry that there is " no place like home". The wizard asked you tell him who you are. The reason is because you do not know the answer and it's obvious since you leave everyone and you never asked yourself that question. Where is Auntie M? The witch represents the anger and confusion that you could enter into with impatience and unrealistic objectification of the opposite gender. How long is his coat and uh cigar? The cigar is not the uh right brand or shape. This is the oldest professional spiritual detour in the world and you never stay with the tin man, lion or scarecrow after walking down the road or the aisle with all three since you are finding the better man. She will chase you and hunt you, attempting to convince you that men are all brainless, heartless, cowards that do not take risks. They do but risks with understanding and also with self-preservation as the foremost objective since paid risk takers have very short life spans. Ok? Most importantly, notice the ruby red gaudy, bobble-like shoes that are a lot like high school on Sunday; no class and with it, you have a lot of attention! Dorothy went home or awoke from her enlightening dream of self-revelation but did not get the message. Instead, she decided to put an ad in the paper offering professional foot massages( why not although it could be more?) and decided to write the forerunner of the cosmo girl's perspective on relationships that fostered distrust of the opposite gender and a whorish outlook on life that turned men into a tool for one purpose only and a disposable one since you can get a ten-pack of disposable razors these days; a commodity. She is also commodified in this outlook. It was very subtle but widely popular in its influence. It was just a Monster in its impact on the young and impressionable minds of Ms. Crabtree's(exemplfied by Glenda the good witch) graduates. Marshall Mcluhan demonstrated that the medium is the message and every media outlet( station, pamphlet or magazine) has its own message. Horkheimer and Adorno confirmed this and demonstrated that every magazine is also targeted at various market segments or social demographics communicating specific messages from that target group and also other general messages found in every other media outlet possibly concerning 401k's ISA's, new travel fads or how to use your bank card to save money such as the cash back feature at the uh till to save bank fees. You will find an article communicating this little wisdom and feature in almost every magazine. Anyway, Dorothy should know who she is by now. She can deconstruct the various messages and make a choice this day about who she is and how she will relate to her community in self-acceptance, drowning out the cloud of doubting voices that beg her to stay confused, bitter and self-doubtful. Do you have Time(TM) to read a magazine?
