Off to See the Wizard...

  oz The weather folks in Wisconsin have forecast extremely high winds for the next 2 days...the utilities are preparing crews for downed power lines, any lawn furniture has been exported from patios and decks to garages and basements...any loose anything anywhere is secured as best it can be.  I got to thinking ...what would it be like if we were the first Realtors on Oz...would the Wizard require a sign and building permit for us to "hang up our shingle?"
  Would Scarecrow find his home climate controlled so that the right amount of humidity would keep him healthy rather than contribute to his  brittle straw innards....?  Would the Tin Man have found the magic combination of elements to keep him from rusting and his joints well lubricated....would it be a mental health facility that treated all kinds of issues....toned up the attitude of the Lion and gave him Courage...calmed Dorothy's fears about not returning to Kansas?oz characters
  Would the Ruby Slippers be replaced with fashionable running shoes and be sponsored by an athletic ...and pinafores be all the rage with pigtailed coiffures tied with matching ribbons or would they be replaced with spikey and colorfully fashioned hair don'ts....
   Would the Flying Monkeys have been named to the endangered species list...How would the residents of Oz accept the views and beliefs of the Wicked Witch of the West or Glinda the Good Witch...is that how their political allegiances would be determined by which Broom was most appealing ?
wicked witch
  good witch  And,....who would be visiting the Wizard.....and what would they be requesting....a better, bigger brain to be able to cope with change....a kinder heart to sympathize with the less fortunate....and the courage to act and make a difference throughout the Kingdom so that everyone would have a better future....Have you been to see the Wizard.....because, because, because...because of the wonderful things he does....what wonderful things will you do when you allow for change in your life ...your business...the place you have chosen as your own kingdom....

What you propose is exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they said "Novo Ordo Seclorum."  They envisioned a place where people were free to interact in a market composed of rugged individuals and endowed by God with rights that a big government was restricted to never impinge upon. 

Wow, have we strayed!

Oh, too many questions, but I do wish those flying monkeys had made it to the endangered species list. Instead, they are extinct.
