I don't mean to take sides here, but I think we are talking about a powerful form of expression called allegory.

The representation of abstract ideas or principles by characters, figures, or events in narrative, dramatic, or pictorial form; an extended metaphor.

A story, picture, or play employing such representation. John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Herman Melville's Moby Dick are allegories.

A symbolic representation: The blindfolded figure with scales is an allegory of justice.

Allegory: used only in Gal. 4:24, where the apostle refers to the history of Isaac the free-born, and Ishmael the slave-born, and makes use of it allegorically. Every parable is an allegory. Nathan (2 Sam. 12:1-4) addresses David in an allegorical narrative. In the eightieth Psalm there is a beautiful allegory: "Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt," etc. In Eccl. 12:2-6, there is a striking allegorical description of old age.

Please stop lying. You've already told another poster that something he called you on, was a a DIRECT QUOTE from something someone other than YOU wrote and which he recognized.

Your personal page, if not also complete fiction, completely and utterly contradicts every single word you've posted to this thread. And if that weren't enough, you've run into someone who was not only, alive, well, and an ADULT in 1972, but someone who was living in Manhattan, at that time and has an excellent memory.

And when I read that wee, totally disconnected blurb, or yours, in post #3, I recalled that I had read that blurb, as part of something posted to FR, months ago and it most assuredly was NOT written by you!

To compound your spurious, fallacious writings, you sent me a FREEPmail last night, wherein you informed me that you, YOU ( LOL ) could tell me all kinds of things about the "underside" of N.Y.C. and D.C.! That has to be one of THE funniest things have ever seen an arrogant, delusional liar ever send me. LOL
