How weird that you would bring that up! Just after that I was in Thailand for New Years and watching fireworks there. I basically circled the globe and saw fireworks everywhere I went.

It is a very strong allegory actually, and Piggy reminds me very much of the very poverty stricken souls of India we have been discussing, and the train is the lack of government response. I think that allegory could be used in many ways. I'm glad you introduced me to it!
