   No, NOT an allegory!   
      
   Please, people, learn what an allegory is and what an allegory is not.   
      
   I did not suggest or imply that it was an allegory, and your inference is   
   mistaken.   
      
   Perhaps the word "allegory" should be banned, since so many people seem to   
   mkisuse it.
