But after a star implodes (the supernova) you have a Black Hole - a tiny, voracious unit that relentlessly "consumes" everything it comes near, forever.

"Is this the analogy we want to make?"

No. Frum's materialistic metaphor is only superficially apropos, like all material metaphors for human action.

He could have chosen an historical analogue,{Pompei vs. Mithradates, e.g.) but that would open too many avenues of dark speculation for his taste. ;^)

Hmmm.... there's a Black Rock that fell from space and is now enshrined in Mecca, that behaves this way already. Coincidence?
